Occupation Of The Place Du Chatelet By Extinction Rebellion

On one of the tents set up by the activists, a sign reads "Ségolène (Royale) nous sommes non violents" on Monday, October 7, 2019, when several hundred environmental activists who are members of the international movement Extinction Rebellion (XR) launched the occupation of the Place du Chatelet and the bridge au Change in Paris to alert the population and the French and international authorities to the climate emergency in response to the governments' inaction to global warming. This action is part of the International Action Week, October International Rebellion (RIO) launched on Monday. (Photo by Samuel Boivin/NurPhoto)
