APRIL FOOLS' DAY PROTESTS BY EXTINCTION REBELLION
To mark April Fools' Day and in the case of England the partial relaxation of strict lockdown, local branches of Extinction Rebellion all over Europe organised unannounced peaceful protests at banks, head offices of large corporations and other symbols of ruthless and irresponsible capitalism. Trudi, a member of the Waltham Forest branch, was the artist responsible for the large placards that were tempoerarily stuck to the bricked-up windows of the Bank of England in Threadneedle Street, and was interviewed about the event by Forest Radio's David in the first of the two videos above. |
