Statement on the COP26 protest

Yesterday the Young Communist League joined thousands of protestors in opposing the sham COP26 meeting in Glasgow, Scotland.

They opposed our right to march with no reason given to us or legal observers, clearly seeing us as a credible threat.

COP26 has been billed as one of the last chances to save the planet and humanity as we know it. For nearly thirty years these meetings have brought together world leaders to discuss and debate the best way forward, yet little has changed in that time.
