Earth Day climate action organisers promise family-friendly protests

Coalition of groups behind Big One demonstration intend focus on collective expression, with disobedience on hold

People do not need to glue themselves to anything in order to protest about the climate crisis this weekend, say the organisers of a large-scale planned climate emergency action.

The Big One, planned to coincide with Earth Day on Saturday by a coalition of groups brought together by Extinction Rebellion, will be four days of protest and events which they say will be “family friendly” and “engaging”.
