Extinction Rebellion (XR) Tyneside took to the streets of Newcastle today continue its Summer Uprising campaign and call for more action to be taken against the fossil fuel industry.
Campaigners took part in a fossil fuel march through the city centre, starting at Leazes Park. The march visited a number of sites in the city, including the Esso Garage near St James' Park and the construction site of the new HMRC office on Pilgrim Street, before concluding at the Quayside.
The group say they visited key locations in Newcastle, as well as companies they believe could do more to help end the fossil fuel industry. They added that the march will highlight these places and demand action is taken, whether that is action from the companies, people, or both, to help the environment.
