DOZENS of Youth Demand supporters took to the streets today, calling for a complete trade embargo on Israel and demanding that the super-rich pay damages to those most harmed by the climate crisis.

About 40 activists split into two groups stepped onto pedestrian crossings at Holborn and Southwark Bridge, and unfurled banners reading “Stop arming Israel” and “Make the rich pay,” disrupting traffic for around 20 minutes at each location. 

The groups reemerged at Trafalgar Square and Tower Hill before moving on to the Barbican and Waterloo.
