A group of climate activists is planning to shut down the Burrard Bridge in Vancouver Monday for what they are dubbing a 鈥榞lobal rebellion.鈥�

Extinction Rebellion says the move is part of a Canada-wide #BridgeOut campaign which seeks to 鈥渨e will peacefully occupy the centres of power and shut them down until governments act on the climate and ecological emergency.鈥�

In Vancouver, protesters are concerned about rising sea levels, wildfire smoke and tar sands that bring fuels to and through the city.

They hope to build on momentum gained during last month鈥檚 climate strikes, which saw hundreds of thousands of teens and adults take to the streets throughout multiple cities.

鈥淎 mass strike needs clear demands and it needs to be sustained day after day until those demands are met. Don鈥檛 assume politicians will suddenly start making the necessary changes to save us after decades of empty promises and criminal inaction,鈥� the event description said.

As of Sunday morning, the had 600 people going and more than 2,000 as interested.
