Saturday 7th May
Leeds Climate Action and others in West Yorkshire will be holding a ‘Forwards not Backwards on Climate’ demonstration on Saturday 7th May.
The demonstration will be connecting with the demonstration in London on 8th May to mark the anniversary of the 2015 election and the dismantling of climate policies since then – such as:
• Slashing subsidies to renewables while increasing subsidies to fossil fuels
• Blocking planning permission for onshore wind while overriding objections to fracking
• Continued expansion of aviation and road-building
• Cuts in funding for insulation
Assemble 12pm City Square Leeds (outside Leeds station). Set off 1pm for route around the city centre, returning to City Square for speeches. We plan to do small sections of backwards walking.
