Local Hero: Tamsin Omond - Climate Suffragette

摘要

She's applying the same principles to environmental campaigning as her forebears did to fighting for universal suffrage. One day in late August last year, activist Tamsin Omond was struck with a brilliant idea. She was at the Climate Camp at Kingsnorth and reading a book about the Suffragettes. In it she noticed a date: 13 October 1908. It was the day the Suffragettes rushed Parliament, when more than 60,000 people rallied in Parliament Square and groups of Suffragettes tried to force their way pastpolice lines. Thirty-seven people were arrested.
