"It's about encouraging and enabling people in York to engage with climate issues."
Laura Autumn Cox of @XR_York spoke to That's TV about this weekend's march for wildlife and nature conservation.
And yet today they will likely approve plans to spend £65m(+) on dualling the ring road.
The Transport Strategy survey shows overwhelming support for @CityofYork proposals to encourage walking and cycling, improve public transport reliability and reduce car dependency.

On Tuesday next week @CityofYork with likely approve plans to expand the ring road. This is the first major test of their climate strategy, barely a year old, and it looks like they will flunk it. Join us to demand a future, outside West Offices at 1:45pm on 19/3.

🚨Government approves climate disaster (again)!🚨
Giving planning permission for unproven, eye-wateringly expensive, environmentally destructive technology only serves to open the door to waste billions on more corporate climate scams.

"Climate activists are sometimes depicted as dangerous radicals. But the truly dangerous radicals are the countries that are increasing the production of fossil fuels." @antonioguterres, UN secretary-general.
ALT cartoon entitled Climate Extremists. One side is activists blocking traffic sitting in a road holding a banner that says "NO NEW OIL SO THERE'S A LIVEABLE/ PLANET FOR OUR CHILDREN"------------or ---- Business people at meeting in boardroom looking at presentation that says "PLANS FOR NEW OIL LEVEL BEYOND WHICH SCIENTISTS TELL US THERE WILL BE NO LIVEABLE PLANET FOR OUR CHILDREN" with a graph showing that exceeds it.
This is the face of fear for the future. #stoprosebank #nomorefossilfuels @sbtcoalition @StopCambo @ExtinctionR

Activists were covered in artificial oil outside a bank in York today in protest over a new oil field being given the go-ahead in Scotland

#Rosebank’s approval is devastating. The LAST thing we need is even more commitment to fossil fuels. They’re called fossil fuels for a reason 😵💫

Next week we're holding a screening as part of @YorkEnvWeek at @TheCrescentYork! Come along to find out more about how Drax profits from environmental racism, tree burning and pollution - and how we're all paying for it!
What’s better than a banner drop? A banner drop plus flares 🤩 kudos to these incredible XR #york student activists for sending the message loud and clear - go plant-based for the planet 💚🌎 #plantbasedunis @AnimalRising @ExtinctionR
Yesterday we urged @HiscoxUK NOT to insure the West Cumbria Coal Mine ❌ if built, the mine would emit 8.4m tonnes CO2 every year 😫 #coalactionnetwork #nomorefossilfuels #ExtinctionRebellion #york @CoalActionUK
