"The seas are rising and so are we!"
Good chant.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
John F. Kennedy
Protests are either inconvenient or ineffective.
I hope these protests work. Fossil fuel companies don't need more subsidies.
Looks like it's going to turn into a sex party.
Next time bring bubble soap and chase the cops with it.
The protesters will block this same stretch of road every single day from now until fossil fuel subsidies are ended. Every day, for as long as necessary
It's mind blowing that our taxes line the pockets of the fossil fuel sociopaths destroying our planet
I'm not sure if that is the right photo somehow, or these people are not so worried about the water cannon. The people in the front are wearing swimwear, and the people in the back seem to be cheering for it to go to them.
Generally water cannons hit so hard they knock people off their feet, or wake people atleast run away.
I was also curious and found that this is probably a different warning nozzle, one that creates mist especially just to wetten groups of people. It seems different nozzles can be used, stronger nozzles are used when people do not leave.
That's a double blow to the activists tomorrow they'll be protesting the use of fossil fuels AND the waste of fresh water in cannons
