Global environmental movement Extinction Rebellion has announced they plan to launch daily protests in London.
The group shared they plan to protest every day starting on Saturday, April 9 at 10am in Hyde Park.
The news came from an online briefing from spokesperson Andrew Smith who said: "We will be easy to find, we will be easy to join, we will be more disruptive than ever, and we will be impossible to ignore."
Adding that they expect "huge numbers from the 9th" as well as "mass participation on the streets".
The daily protests come after the rise in energy cost and the national living wage crisis saying that "the energy crisis is really starting to hit home on people, and people really want us to step up into a space where their voice is heard."
However, Smith has said that they plan for the daily protests to "feel and look very different from previous rebellions".
Hinting at the end to the group's controversial actions that have previously included stopping public transport.
Smith said: "Every morning we’ll be offering non-violent direct action training, where we will encourage people to step up and be empowered to take action with us and speak out against Government inaction.
"As a response to that, the actions will feel and look very different to previous rebellions.
"We want to create the mass space where people can come and join us."
