Central London was brought to a standstill when XR started its two weeks of climate activism around the world. Thousands of activists took to the streets of London. They raised awareness about their common cause, sang songs, played their instruments, danced and behaved themselves. Children were also allowed to play & paint in the streets because the streets were free of polluting traffic.

StreetMic was present when hundreds of activists were being arrested. In this Podcast you will hear what it was like to be present at the rebellion in Trafalgar Square. This occurred when hundreds of Police officers started to arrest activists for breaching section 14 of the Public Order Act of 1986, because they were obstructing the streets of London.

This eight minute podcast consists of many soundbites to give you a feel of what it was like at the time climate activists were being arrested.

A full-length and very detailed Podcast has also been uploaded. This captures a number of engaging conversations with climate activists from 06:30 in the morning when it was still dark & freezing cold, and a harpist was playing music to wake up encamped sleepers in Trafalgar Square. You will learn details about the aims of Extinction Rebellion and why so many committed activists are prepared to be arrested for their noble cause.

StreetMic Podcast uploads a new episode every Sunday. Additional episodes will be published on a weekday if anything significant happens on the streets of London.
