(Jan. 1, 2023 12:07 PM PST) The UK branch of Extinction Rebellion, the environmental group known for its disruptive protests, has announced that it will temporarily halt its public disruption tactics in order to grow its membership and increase its influence. The group plans to focus on building relationships and increasing attendance at events, including a planned protest at the Houses of Parliament in April, rather than seeking arrests through roadblocks and other forms of disruption.
