On Monday 4 October members of the Extinction Rebellion Andover met Ten Rebels from XR Zaragoza, in Andover high street as they walked through Andover on their way to the COP26 in Glasgow.
They are walking 20 miles a day and are doing this to raise awareness of the Climate Crisis and the enormous emissions cuts needed by all nations of the industrialised world to even come close to reaching their current Paris Agreement commitments. They will join with other activists and Rebels to hold the members at COP26 in Glasgow to account, taking place on 31 October – 12 November.
As the two groups meet in town they joined together in song called , Song for the Climate
We need to wake up
We need to rise up
We need to open our eyes
And do it now, now, now !
We need to build a better future
And we need to start right now
We’re on a planet
That has a problem
We’ve got to solve it, get involved
And do it now, now, now!
Make it greener
Make it cleaner
Make it last, make it fast
And do it now, now , now!
