Climate Activists Disrupt London Pride in Protest Against Corporate Sponsorship

Climate activists disrupted the London Pride march by blocking a Coca-Cola float to protest the event's acceptance of sponsorship money from "high-polluting industries." Seven members of the group Just Stop Oil were arrested for public nuisance offenses. The activists argue that these partnerships embarrass the LGBTQ+ community and allow polluting industries to sanitize their reputations. The protest briefly halted the march, which drew tens of thousands of participants, but the demonstration was eventually cleared and the march resumed.
