The group have carried out a range of protests across London this week
Extinction Rebellion are set to protest outside a range Howden offices over the weekend.
According to XR’s website, Howden’s branches in Shrewsbury, Eastbourne, Colchester, Chester, Welwyn Garden City, Harrogate and Oxford will all be targeted by the group on Saturday (2 November 2024).
The protests form part of XR’s Insure Our Survival campaign, which aims to stop insurance firms from insuring new fossil fuel projects.
Insure Our Survival spokesperson Steve Tooze said: “Unless insurers meet our demand to stop insuring new oil and gas, we will keep targeting them with mass non-violent direct action.”
