Extinction Rebellion to ‘shift away from public disruption’
The Extinction Rebellion climate campaign has said it is to temporarily stop using public disruption tactics, which have frustrated commuters and businesses over the last four years, because “very little has changed”.
Hundreds of the activists have been arrested after blockading traffic, locking and gluing themselves together and spray painting buildings but despite their efforts, XR said “very little has changed – emissions continue to rise and our planet is dying at an accelerated rate”.
XR said that this year it will focus on prioritising “attendance over arrest and relationships over roadblocks”.
