The Big One at Houses of Parliament 21-24 April

The past four days have been huge. Here’s a little look at what we did together.

We prepped thousands of banners, patches and posters.

We picketed all the major Government departments.

We took part in people’s assemblies and shared ideas about what comes next.

Tens of thousands of us marched on Earth Day.

We had a massive die in, to respect all that we have lost and may still lose.

We had 10 hubs for learning, connecting and mobilising.

We had 100s of speakers, artists and performers at three stages and 16 pickets.

We said we wouldn’t cause any public disruption – and we told the truth.

We engaged with our MPs.

There will be time for reflection and planning what comes next… once the rebels have rested!
