XR Carmen’s Carbon Procession
Westminster, London, UK. Tue 2 Jul 2019
Carmen in an impressive dress
and people carrying her train
The XR Carbon Procession met at Ebury
Bridge
Carmen rehearses her speech calling on oil companies in the Oil
and Gas Climate Initiative (OGCI)
to abandon the pretence they can combat global warming without
a huge cut in oil production
The procession sets off
and stops outside the offices ofItalian multinational oil and gas
company ENI
Carmen deivers her speech and looks up at the office windows
And the rest of the procession shouts in support
and we are told more about the company before
people try to deliver
the Extinction Rebellion Handbook 'This is Not A Drill'
but the doors are locked
but there is a letter box
Hazard tape in the shape of the centre of the XR Logo marks this as
a crime scene
and the protesters shout and raise red hands at the ENI windows
before they move off
Following Carmen is a procession, silent except for the drums, with
people carrying XR flags
The next stop is at a busy street corner
and again Carmen speaks
and the siren is turned
But now an opera singer with a great voice has arrived to perform
as Carmen
Everyone listens as she sings
