Climate activists form human chains in 112 cities

Activists in several cities have campaigned for greater environmental and climate protection as well as fairer policies. Under the motto “It's burning!”, around 19,000 participants formed human chains and called for a political restart. According to the organizers, actions were planned in 112 cities. »We want our livelihoods to be protected. For us today. For our children, our grandchildren and great-grandchildren,” said the call for the campaign.

The organizers estimated the length of the various human chains to be around 21 kilometers in total. Nature and climate protection organizations, churches, trade unions and other alliances called for the action. Numerous people took part, especially in Berlin and Dresden.

The chain was to run in sections from the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe through numerous cities to the Federal Chancellery in Berlin. Participants should hold up blank white sheets of paper as a symbol of a new beginning.
