XR – Reclaim the BBC – Manchester

Extinction Rebellion – 1st demand – “The Government must tell the truth about the climate and wider ecological emergency, reverse inconsistent policies and work alongside the media to communicate with citizens.”
For too long the BBC has either ignored or downplayed the climate emergency – let’s reclaim OUR BBC to tell the truth on climate change.

On the 21st December, there will be a mass action outside the main BBC headquarters in London, to bring to light the utter failure of the BBC to fulfill their most fundamental duty to educate and inform the British public on the most important issue of our time – the climate crisis.

The BBC are not a private or corporate entity – they are, in theory, a public service.
It is long past time they started acting like one.
As Greta Thunberg has said, the existential threat of climate crisis is so severe that it should lead the news every night. Every single night!
But in reality in barely gets a look in.
This is beyond absurd, it’s obscene!

Outside of London, Manchester (well, technically Salford…) is the BBCs major outpost.

We need to send a strong message to the BBC, we will NOT tolerate this dereliction of duty any longer!

Details of meeting place, and event details etc to follow soon.

Get down and get loud.

Tell the Truth!
