Adam Johannes, from Respect - The Unity Coalition, Bethan Jenkins from Cymru X: Plaid Cymru Youth, Owen Clarke from the Green Party, Chris Senior from People & Planet, Ian Williams from Plan B: Alternatives to Oil.

by taking to the streets and getting the message out there - people start to learn this is something we are all responsible for, and it's us who do something about it - not the state.

this demos should spread city by city - take a lead
