People are being encouraged to miss school or work this week to take part in a climate protest against Bristol Airport.
Environmental campaign group Bristol Youth Strike 4 Climate (BYS4C) has called for a rally at 11am on College Green on Friday (March 25) with a march around the city centre commencing at 12pm. The Bristol demonstration is part of a much wider network of protests for the Global Climate Strike on Friday, an international day of action hosted each year.
Speaking to Bristol Live, climate activist and spokesperson for BYS4C, Torin Menzies, 17, confirmed the group predicts around 300 people will attend the demonstration against the airport expansion, but they are hoping for more. "We are encouraging people to miss school, college, and university, as well as take time off work if possible," he said.
