Monday 1st - Friday 12th Nov 2021 - Around Cambridge
The Prams were created by local artists to remind Cambridge residents and visitors of the devastating effect that the climate and ecological emergency will have on the lives of future generations and raise the alarm about COP26.
Don’t walk away - join us to expose the government’s strategy of distract and delay!
It’s an embarrassment and a disgrace. We cannot trust them to do what’s necessary at COP26. The Climate and Ecological Emergency is a Crime Against Humanity perpetrated by the rich and powerful, and the COP process is systematically corrupted by vested interests – national, corporate and financial.
The truth is, we can not rely on COP. Nothing on the table in the run up to COP26 resembles a compassionate and functional response to the crisis, so why should we place any faith in the summit itself?
What we expect is catastrophic failure, which will be spun by the government as a success to an unsuspecting public. Both the governments represented and the NGOs will be promoting an atmosphere of optimism and possibility. Our role is to tell the truth, to expose both the failings and the falsehoods, to force leaders to confront the reality and the consequences of their failure and offer people a meaningful route to change through Citizens’ Assemblies.
Extinction Rebellion as a movement will set its own agenda and schedule. We’re not bound by the political calendar. Our theory of change has achieved most success when we act within our own timeline and when politicians and the media least expect it.
We know that power belongs to the people, not with the COP process!
