UK roundup: Somerset CC scheme faces Extinction Rebellion protests | News | IPE
Global environmental movement Extinction Rebellion is targeting Somerset County Council Pension Fund with a protest outside the offices of Somerset West and Taunton Council on Friday 28 August at 12pm UK time, as part of its We want to live ' campaign.
On a social media post, Extinction Rebellion said the protest is against Somerset County Council pensions committee's continued investment in fossil fuels, despite the fact that the county council and four district councils declared a climate emergency in February 2019.
