Occupation Of The Place Du Chatelet By Extinction Rebellion

Activists are gathered around the Place du Chatelet to participate in a general assembly on Monday, October 7, 2019, when several hundred environmental activists members of the international movement Extinction Rebellion (XR) launched the occupation of the Place du Chatelet and the Pont au Change in Paris to alert the population and the French and international authorities to the climate emergency in the face of inaction by governments on global warming. This action is part of the International Action Week, October International Rebellion (RIO) launched on Monday. (Photo by Samuel Boivin/NurPhoto)
