LIVE: Activists tell law firm Eversheds Sutherland to stop aiding planetary destruction

Activists from Extinction Rebellion are taking part in nonviolent direct actions in Birmingham, Cardiff, London and Nottingham to demand the law firm cut the ties to companies such as Esso (ExxonMobil) and High Speed 2 (HS2). These companies are actively taking part in the destruction of nature and enabling further burning of fossil fuels and Eversheds Sutherland are aiding them to continue this work uninterrupted. The protesters, as part of the Cut The Ties campaign, are demanding Eversheds cut the ties with these companies. The action is part of the 100 days countdown to 'Unite To Survive' starting on 21 April. 100,000 people will gather at the Houses of Parliament to tell the government they have had enough of the inadequate leadership, corruption, and blatant disregard for the wellbeing of the people they are meant to serve. XR will be calling for an end to the fossil fuel era and a citizens' assembly to ensure a fair transition for people and planet.
