The 100 London hunger strikers of Extinction Rebellion called for a change in business as usual, for any new Government to make the Climate & Ecological Emergency its highest and most fundamental responsibility. The strikers have three demands:
- tell the truth with all organizations the government interacts with
- take rapid action to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2025
- create and be lead by the Citizens Assembly
“This is a way of just peacefully sitting here, informing the public without disrupting them.”
–Jane explained cheerfully while on day 7 of her hunger strike.
