Exactly 100 years to the day after more than 40 women were arrested in the 'Suffragette Rush' as they attempted to enter The Houses of Parliament., women concerned with the lack of political action to tackle climate change organised and led a rally in Parliament Square, calling for "men and women alike" to stand together and support three key demands: * No airport expansion. * No new coal-fired power stations. * The creation of policy in line with the most recent climate science and research. Those attending were asked to wear white, and many dressed in ways that reflected the styles of a century ago, and wore red sashes with the words 'Reform Climate Policy', 'No New Coal' 'Climate Code Red' and 'No Airport Expansion'. The rally concluded with a rush to the doors of Parliament with the suffragette slogan 'Deeds Not Words.'
