Members of Edinburgh’s Extinction Rebellion are taking to the streets of the capital to protest the ongoing climate crisis in a “die-in” protest.
Members of the action group will meet on August 27 at midday on the Royal Mile to demand action from the government after a record breaking summer. During the protest, the Red Rebels will lead a procession to St Giles Cathedral, where activists will pose as “casualties” of the climate crisis.
Participants will lie in front of the cathedral, covered in white sheets as a sombre drumbeat draws attention to the protest. It is designed to highlight the ongoing impact of the climate crisis.
