Cop26 protest demands end to the hostile environment and the arms trade
Demonstrators at a Extinction Rebellion protest during the Cop26 summit in Glasgow

A MARCH for peace travelled through Glasgow during Cop26 today, demanding an end to the hostile environment and the arms trade. 

The demonstration, led by activists from Extinction Rebellion (XR) and XR Peace, travelled from the Home Office to BAE Systems to highlight the links between the climate crisis, Britain’s racist immigration policies and the arms trade — and in solidarity with climate and war refugees.

The event featured speakers from the Faslane Peace Camp, CND, and participants from the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp.
