US: Environment activists plan protest in Charlotte on November 8

Event

Environmental activists have called for climate marches as part of the "Fridays for Future" movement in Charlotte (North Carolina state) on Friday, November 8, to call on government for action. Participants are set to gather at the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center from 12:00 to 14:00 (local time).

Activist Greta Thunberg will be in attendance, which will likely prompt particularly heightened security measures. Localized transportation disruptions should also be expected in the vicinity of the protest. 

Advice

Individuals in Charlotte are advised to monitor the situation, avoid all protests and demonstrations as a precaution, anticipate localized traffic disruptions and a heightened security presence near demonstration sites, and adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.
