Roc Sandford on Extinction Rebellion
Roc Sandford is a Catalyser for the environmental direct action group Extinction Rebellion.
Living off-grid on an otherwise uninhabited Hebridean island, he spends time in London either taking direct action himself or pressing Extinction Rebellion’s case. In this episode, we talk about what ER want, get under the skin of how they work as an organisation and also dive into the thorny question of whether ER is right to target public transport during their protests.
After all, a lot of people in the world of public transport felt that targeting the tube or DLR somewhat missed the mark of where the problem is.
Public transport is a solution not a problem in the environmental debate, so it’s fascinating to hear how these questions are thought about by such a high-profile activist group.
