 Newsweek, May 28th 2001 But a bigger colour version of this photo appeared some months later in Newsweek.
We had provided a powerful image which was just waiting its time.....
|
 The Sunday Business, May 6th 2001 This is Andrew Lockley in his Uncle Sam/Grim Reaper costume at our Kyoto Rally . This event also appeared on BBC 24, regional London news programmes,
and most importantly on US TV (CBS news) one month later.
|
 The Morning Star, June 4th 2001 From our Election Protest . This also made it onto Channel 4 news.

 The Independent on Sunday, March 24th 2002 From our "Long March for the Climate". Andrew Lockley again.
|
 CNN website, May 2002 . This was from a CCC expedition to Paris to join a French demo against Bush (then visiting France) : to make sure the demo included a clear message about climate change. Lucy Wills did the same kind of thing, with a striking costume & placard,
at the May Day demos in London, making sure the climate message got into the media coverage of the event.
|
 The Guardian, July 3rd 2002. From John Vidal's 'Eco-Soundings'. This was a quote from our leaflet for our "The US does'nt deserve to be Independant' demo , the next day, July 4th.

failure to reduce greenhouse gases"

| COVERAGE OF THE KYOTO CLIMATE MARCH, February 12th 2005
|
The Independent on Sunday, page 2; February 13th 2005
A picture from our demo appears
with this article in the Indy on Sunday. The piccy features Auriel Glanville in her
much-photoed 'Statue-of-Taking-Liberties' costume. |
The Sunday Times, page 2; February 13th 2005
Another photo from our
demo appears in the Sunday Times. The caption reads:
"Global Message: A protester marches
on the American embassy in London yesterday to demand that George Bush signs up to the Kyoto
protocol and cut greenhouse gas emissions. More than 350 people joined the march."
This estimate of numbers - which got around lots of the media - was, while literally correct(!),
way off mark and something of an insult ! An estimate of 1,000 is more likely...some said more..
certainly at least twice the number quoted here. Just goes to show you can't believe everything
you read in the papers !
