Extinction Rebellion Warwick District and Stratford-upon-Avon joined forces to talk to National Trust visitors about Barclays on Sunday 4 August at Charlecote Park.
Barclays is the biggest funder of fossil fuels in Europe. As a preserver of our natural environment we hope that the National Trust will divest from this immoral corporation.
We spoke to visitors about the petition to this effect and the upcoming vote on divesting from Barclays, which members can take part in. Many of them were receptive to our message. https://digitalactions.org/national-trust
This is part of a national campaign to pressure the NT drop Barclays. Many charities have already done so, and this helps undermine the social licence Barclays have to support fossil fuels, which are endangering all our futures, and already impacting people around the world.
