Extinction Rebellion grandparents fighting for the future of their grandchildren
They have been labelled “ferals”, “anarchists” and “dole bludgers” but older members of the activist movement, Extinction Rebellion, say they are just ordinary people moving out of their comfort zone to protect their grandchildren from the devastating impacts of climate change.
“I don’t have a choice,” says Heath Greville, a 67-year-old grandmother of three who works at the University of Western Australia as a researcher in public health.
“If you see your loved ones coming into harm, you step up to protect them.
Extinction Rebellion is planning to disrupt “business as usual” in cities across the country from Monday.
