XR Rebel Rising March to the Common
Greenwich, London. Sat 17 Aug 2019
People wait for the march to start, some holding fish skeletons
A woman has XR symbols in bright red on her cheeks
The group met in front of the Cutty Sark
and a man with an XR sticker on his forehead
A young rebel was wearing a boat
The 'Towards the Common!' banner
Eventually the drums and some drummers arrived
And the march lined up - with the RMT European Passenger Services
banner
and people with XR flags
One group went down to block the road to allow the march to leave
The carried a banner - and could be the last generation of humans
Two roads had to be blocked to allow the march to go around the junction
and the 'Are We The Last Generation' banner blocks one of them
and the 'Life Or Death' banner the other
and the march proceeds 'Towards the Common!'
through the center of Greenwich, usually busy with traffic
with the masts of the Cutty Sark in the background
It goes down the path at the bottom of the park
'Act Now' a bicycle as a boat as a reminder of rising sea levels
A banner against the Silvertown Tunnel - which would require huge
carbon output to build and promote traffic
and the march turns at the back of the National Maritime Museum to
go up the slope of Greenwich Park
I walked up most of the hill with the marchers, then ran back down to catch
a train at Maze Hill
