Extinction Rebellion Hackney Street Party
Kingsland High St, Dalston, London. Sat 9 Feb 2019
Campiagners meet up in front of Dalston Kingsland station
There were Extinction Rebellion flags to be handed out to people
and some had brought placards from other groups including the SWP
'No to Fracking - Climate jobs now'
A woman offers flags to people at the protest
As the pavement in front of the station became overcrowded, people
were asked to move to the other side of
the road, in front of Ridley Road market
People from in frong of the station begin to cross the road to protest
outside a shopping centre
where the first musical entertainment of the street party began, with
a bass palyer and a drummer
and some singing and dancing
The signal was given to block the road , with banners closing it off
at north and south of the party area
A little traffic was held up, but most got diverted
Most XR road blocks have been short, often repeated several times,
but this one lasted two hours
The samba band had arrived and was very much making itself heard
and peole were dancing to it
XR says the government is failing to tell the truth - and beleiving
its own propaganda
our situation is crticial, but the actions so far have been largely
token
We need drastic change - and the rebellion hopes to get things moving
so life can continue on the planet
