Meanwhile in Devon... 📦☀️💚

When we first walked on to Waterloo Bridge it felt like the scene after an apocalypse. Apt, really, given that is what we are facing as a society if we do not commit to fundamental change. Back home in Devon the threat of climate chaos feels a lot further away - until I come online, and the stark reality becomes clear again. My encounters with @extinctionrebellion have changed me: they have ignited a fire that has been smouldering for too long. It is impossible to ignore the science behind the visceral dread that so many feel: this is an emergency, and the time to act is now. So what are you going to do about it? I am not talking about your personal choices. If you live, or aspire to live, a truly sustainable lifestyle then that’s great. If you’re just doing the best you can with limited financial, emotional and temporal resources then that’s ok too. The action that is needed to avert this catastrophe is way bigger than any of us as individuals: government, media and corporations simply have to start taking responsibility on a global scale. But they will not do that unless we make them. If you are able to go and show your support to #extinctionrebellion on the streets then please, please do: not only because numbers matter, but because your presence will give brave protestors such a boost - and I guarantee will inspire you too. If you can’t physically be there then please take a moment to visit https://rebellion.earth: sign up and support the movement and find out for yourself what it is really all about. This is not an issue that will fizzle out and die - not unless we die with it. The time will come when you have to pick your side: and that time may as well be now ✊💚🌍

This is the face of Extinction Rebellion. Emily has been one of my bestest friends for nearly 25 years. She is one of the most intelligent and compassionate people I know: an NHS GP, and mother to two young girls. After a lifetime of trying to do the right thing within the limits of the law, she has been compelled to engage with the Extinction Rebellion movement, coordinating the affinity group in St Albans. The emotional draw of the argument is hard to resist, but the science is incontrovertible. We are facing a climate emergency. The time to act is now.

Parliament Square, 16/4/19. We finished where we started. As we walked from Waterloo Bridge along the South Bank we were stopped by several people wanting to find out more about the Rebellion. Every one of them supported its aims. Parliament Square itself was quiet: eerily so. My friends were part of the affinity group preparing to hold the North end of the square overnight. Spirits were high, if a little bit deflated that the police seemed so nonplussed by their presence. They stood around in pairs and threes discussing strategy - their own and that of the rebels. Turns out their strategy was to come in hard tonight. It’s probably best they waited till we’d gone - Orson’s propensity to lie down in the road would probably have got us all arrested 💚✊🌍 #extinctionrebellion
