We spent an amazing week taking part in the Extinction Rebellion in London from 15 April 2019.
It was the most beautiful, inspiring, humbling, encouraging week.
I did a video diary clip each of the 7 days we were there, to share some of what we were doing and experiencing. Here they are:

I also wrote a thread responding to having watched David Attenborough’s Climate Change The Facts documentary which came out during the week. Summary: please watch it. But remember we don’t all share the same responsibility for this, not by a very, very long way. Nor do we all have equal power to change it. But we may all have opportunities to take that power.
#ClimateChangeTheFacts is essential watching.
But utterly terrifying.
And not for the accelerating disaster that is killing our world, though that is.
But for the deafening silence on how unequal is the responsibility, and opportunity, to change. https://t.co/POJwuX0nk8
