About 70 people turned up at 9:30 am to hear speeches from:

This coming Friday, 20 September, is the Global Climate Strike – with more than 150 countries round the world taking part. Details of the London strike action are included on https://ukscn.org/events/london-global-climate-strike/, from which you will see that people are assembling at Millbank at 11 am. While you can of course go there, Friends of the Earth groups are assembling – also at 11 am – on Parliament Square by the statue of Nelson Mandela – which is in the south-west corner of Parliament Square, the opposite corner to the statue of Winston Churchill (map here); we would encourage you to assemble here with other Brent people – we will be joining up with the main group in due course.
