Extinction Rebellion will protest outside of a Leeds court in support of an activist who was arrested for throwing fake blood on Leeds Civic Hall's steps.
The campaigners will gather outside the court for the activist and in protest at the expansion of Leeds Bradford Airport and the Policing Bill.
They will then march from the Magistrates' Court to the Town Hall steps and continue into Millennium Square.

The protest, on Tuesday February 15, will also see the group hold a 'funeral' for the Leeds carbon budget and carry a coffin outside of the court.
They will then walk from the Magistrates Court via the Town Hall steps where campaigners will unfurl six long rolls of red cloth down the steps with messages including "code red for humanity", "airport expansion kills" and “kill the bill, save our liberties”.
The procession will continue to Millennium Square where the banners will be unfurled again down the Civic Hall steps.

Sam Townson, spokesperson for Extinction Rebellion Leeds, said: “We’ve had some very good news lately. There’s going to be a public inquiry into the airport’s expansion plans and some of the worst proposals in the Policing Bill have been rejected by the House of Lords. But there’s a lot more work to be done to protect our climate and our rights.
"We will send a powerful message to the government that Leeds Bradford Airport cannot be allowed to expand and that they must drop plans in the Policing, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill that would damage our democracy.“
He added: “Everyone knows, including government, that we have to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 to give us a realistic chance of preventing climate breakdown. Expanding Leeds Bradford Airport would take us in the opposite direction - it would double its emissions by 2030."
