Extinction Rebellion occupies Place du Châtelet

← Back to Dashboard
📅 7 October 2019 📍 France

More than a thousand activists occupied central Paris at the start of an international week of civil disobedience. The action called for urgent measures on climate and ecological breakdown and made disruption a deliberate tactic. XR’s approach drew attention and criticism, including debate about disruption’s effects on workers, residents and public access. The occupation was part of a broader transnational movement whose demands and tactics varied between local groups.
