International rebellion extinction action relayed to Dijon – Dijoncter.info
The day before the launch of the COP26, XR Dijon is taking a new action to remind people that urgent action is needed to limit the climate crisis.
This Saturday, October 30, a rebel sat alone in the middle of a road blocking traffic on rue Jean Renaud to express our vulnerability to all of us in the face of the ongoing ecological disaster.
Several other members of the movement remained nearby to ensure the smooth running of the action.
The sitter carried two panels where one could read:
“ I’m terrified of running out of water and food because of the climate catastrophe ”
“ I am terrified of the government’s inaction on the climate crisis “
This sitting caused a traffic jam, pushing motorists to approach the activist. The reactions were very different from one passer-by to another: full support, annoyance, aggressive words or gestures. A motorist even told him that the climate crisis obsessed him on a daily basis and was the cause of his insomnia.
The courage of these people inspires us and reminds us of how urgent it is to act at all levels of our societies.
All eyes are now on the COP26 which, we hope, will not be another empty international meeting with empty and non-binding commitments for states.

Love and Rage
