Through non-violent protests, they are asking World\u2019s governments to take immediate actions to admit and tackle the causes of climate change. But most importantly they are demanding for the creation of citizen assemblies to deliver on climate and ecological justice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This protest follows the climate strikes that young students carried out for the past three Fridays, but now all different kind of people are taking a stand. University students, the next generation in charge of the World, joined the event together with concerned grandparents taking care of their grandchildren\u2019s future.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6521\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6521 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/radio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/04\/students-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students from the University of Edinburgh joined the protest<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A movement of humanity by Simone Pros\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F606620337&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=750&#038;maxwidth=500&#038;secret_token=s-v9yA8\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Parliament Square was the heart of the protest where many initiatives and activities took place, from dancing and singing exhibitions to simulated Citizen Assemblies, which was one of the most participated. Gathered in small parties of eight, people had half an hour to try the process of an assembly which had to create a plan to spread the awareness of climate change to small communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many were also the speakers that stood on the stage set up in the centre of Parliament Square Garden. A brave 10-year-old Elsie Luna inspired the crowd reporting her experience of speaking with many of the CEOs of companies responsible for great CO2 emissions, like Shell. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cPeople say I shouldn\u2019t do this, and I rather agree. Climate change it\u2019s not my fault and adults should take responsibilities, but they are not. So why don\u2019t protect the planet when no one else is?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Later a speech from a member of the Royal Society for the Protection introduced a plan to get a song made of bird songs to number one in the UK chart. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Why a bird song? by Simone Pros\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F606620382&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=750&#038;maxwidth=500&#038;secret_token=s-tb8Vp\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the afternoon, people started marching and interrupting the traffic around the various locations and they are promising to create even more disruption today and tomorrow if the government don\u2019t listen to them. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, this it\u2019s not meant to be a usual protest as organisers say it will end only when the demands will be met, it will continue \u201cevery day from April 15, until we win\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6522\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6522\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6522 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/radio\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/65\/2019\/04\/sign3-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6522\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A mock funeral for Earth<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thousands of people marched in different locations across London yesterday to raise awareness for climate change.
