We took our red line to Paris, now let’s put a red line around the front lines of the climate struggle in the UK. Reclaim the Power has called for an escalation of climate justice actions in the wake of the Paris climate talks. From fossil fuels to border controls, the arms industry to financial markets, we hope to link up groups taking action, and create new avenues for people to engage in civil disobedience.
