Extinction Rebellion to march through town in protest at Jacob Rees-Mogg backing oil

Extinction Rebellion protesters, local campaigners and politicians including Metro Mayor Dan Norris are to march through the centre of Keynsham on Saturday in protest at local MP Jacob Rees-Mogg's backing of UK oil production.

The morning-long event will see a rally at the Keynsham Park bandstand with speakers including the founder of Extinction Rebellion, Bristol University professor Colin Davis and West of England Metro Mayor Dan Norris.

The protesters then intend to march out of Memorial Park and fill the High Street later in the morning, performing street theatre as they go. The event is set to end with a vegan picnic.
