Climate justice groups join British rail strike picket lines

Campaigners say government must invest in public transport to avoid worst impacts of global heating

Climate justice groups have joined RMT picket lines across the UK to support the rail strike and argue the government must invest in public transport to avoid the worst impacts of global heating.

Hundreds of activists from several groups including Just Stop Oil, War on Want, Extinction Rebellion [XR] and Friends of the Earth Scotland have joined striking workers on more than 40 picket lines in towns and cities across the country, with more expected to turn out in the coming days.
