EXTINCTION REBELLION has announced it will hold a weekend of resistance this weekend in London, where it expected thousands of environmental campaigners will gather for various actions.

One location announced will be outside the Tate Modern on the South Bank on Saturday.

It will be followed by a “mass subvertising campaign” in which hundred of bus adverts and thousands of Tube ads will be replaced with information about the climate crisis, the group said.

A statement from the group said: “Extinction Rebellion is working on a plan that sees the movement growing in numbers and building momentum towards 100,000 people on the streets in spring 2023.

“As October turns into a month of mass disruption from a cross-section of movements, unions, anti-austerity campaigners, environmental protesters and racial justice movements are aligning to resist the unjust policies of the new government.”
