Youth Activist Group Stages Protests, Demands Climate Action and End to UK Arms Sales
-
Youth Demand is a new activist group that has staged protests against the Labour party and Conservative government to demand climate action and an end to UK arms sales to Israel.
-
The group believes the current political system is broken and non-violent revolution is inevitable. They aim to spark a "democratic revolution."
-
Tactics involve direct action like spray painting buildings and laying children's shoes at politicians' homes to dominate media narratives.
-
Youth Demand claims 5,000-10,000 people on a mailing list and representation at 17 universities. More protests are planned.
-
The group says Labour has failed as the opposition party and should be setting the UK's political agenda around climate and arms sales.
