2019 – A year in protest pictures

2019 was the first full year of climate change protests by student strikers and Extinction Rebellion.  Beginning with People’s Assembly, wearing high vis vests, calling for a general election now – ending with the election, but not in our favour, and protests against populism by anti-fascists and trade union groups. We look back at the year 2019 with pictures by Steve Eason.
