LIVE: Historic Demonstration As Extinction Rebellion Joins 100s Of Allies To March For Clean Water

Extinction Rebellion and hundreds of nature organisations including River Action, Surfers Against Sewage, Greenpeace, the Women’s Institute, and many more take to the streets to demand the UK Government take action to rescue our rivers and seas. Backed by many including Chris Packham, Caroline Lucas, Lewis Pugh, Deborah Meadon and Bear Grylls, this is the biggest show of support to stop the sewage scandal the UK has ever seen. WATER IS LIFE, YET IN BRITAIN WATER IS ON LIFE SUPPORT. Together, we can resolve this public health emergency by demanding the new government enforce the current law and deliver new legislation that will restore our waters to full health by 2030. In addition, Extinction Rebellion Dirty Water are campaigning for ‘Water Pressure’ to demand a Citizens' Assembly on Water. Fixing current water mismanagement and restoring health to our waterways is crucial for all life. Finding solutions to these complex challenges needs us to come together. We’ve seen what happens when we leave water management to politicians and corporate lobbyists; 584,001 discharges of raw sewage into UK waterways in 2023 leaving 75% of rivers posing a threat to human health. Instead, we need a Citizens’ Assembly on Water - the only way to hear people’s voices, find solutions and fix this problem. #ExtinctionRebellion #Floodthestreets #MarchForCleanWater #WaterPressure
