Spectacularly costumed Red Rebels lead a procession of Extinction Rebellion activists across Porthmeor Beach before entering the sea to stand in formation as the rising tide washes over them, symbolising the rise in sea levels caused by climate breakdown on 11th August 2019 in St Ives, United Kingdom. The Red Rebels performance activist troupe dedicated to illuminating the global environmental crisis and supporting groups and organisations fighting to save humanity and all species from mass extinction. Extinction Rebellion is a climate change group started in 2018 and has gained a huge following of people committed to peaceful protests. These protests are highlighting that the government is not doing enough to avoid catastrophic climate change and to demand the government take radical action to save the planet.
