THE #ImpossibleRebellion IS HERE!!
we started gathering at trafalgar square to hear speeches before marching to st martins street / garrix street, where we came across a massive pink table in the road reading “come to the table” - people are currently on top of it, as well as locked on to the legs and there is also a van with someone from xr youth locked underneath it (more on this soon)
we got a lot of attention with these so we just thought we'd clear a few things up
- acab stands for 'all cops are bastardised' (by the system), which means that each individual who joins the police force joins and comes to represent a system built on oppression.
📣 happening now 📣
an xr youth person is being cut out of the lock - on from underneath the vehicle.
what a wild first day, and it will only get better of course 🥳
from sleeping in hammocks attached to vehicles in the middle of roads, to learning how to pitch a tent with pegs into concrete… 💤⛺️
