For many new XR Norwich members, today was a chance to experience the amazing spirit, solidarity and optimism that comes from taking part in non violent direct action.

The many individuals working hard to organise the event were granted today with a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon in Norwich.

As the ecological crisis begins to reach the consciousness of local people it is heartwarming to see so many determined and brave parents and young children taking to the streets to demand action is taken.  With a turn out of 200 plus and a whole array of drums and shakers, its clear Norwich refuses to be silenced. 

A huge thank you to the local police officers who helped facilitate the event with the respect it deserves. 

Here is a brief description of the days events by XR member Alex, the chant king !
Today at 12 o-clock, around 200 people gathered outside Norwich Castle to get ready to march for climate justice. Our demonstration involved many kinds of people but largely consisted of families  who were protesting for the future of their children.

Many involved brought pots, pans and drums so as to make as much noise as possible, in order to disrupt ordinary life so as to bring attention to mounting ecological catastrophe. The drums were also used later to create a catchy rhythmic drumbeat outside The Forum where we chanted and sang songs!

After the demonstration, we headed to Chappelfield gardens to sit down and communally have a picnic in the beautiful weather. We ate food, spoke politics and recovered from a tiring but fun day out!

I really love my mother, and if you ask me, everyone should feel the same. We do not really get to choose our parents, but that is part of what makes family important. We started our lives inside of our mothers, which is part of why we are closest to them. I am not that close with my mother, however, I learned that I need to be the one to engage. Today, I am trying to spend my holidays with her.
