Brandalism teamed up with artists and Fossil Free London to hack Barclays ads across Manchester on the day of their annual AGM. We replaced them with spoof ads telling the bigger picture on Barclays climate crimes. with satirical spoof Barclays adverts, as climate campaigners increase pressure on the bank to stop funding the expansion of the fossil fuel industry. Dubbed ‘the dirtiest bank in Europe’, Barclays provides massive sums of money in support of major polluters. Barclays has poured 167,000,000,000 USD into fossil fuels in the last 6 years ☠️ The bank says it’s aiming for “net zero by 2050” but its own climate policy makes that impossible.

Dirty banks and brands, beware! A collective of guerilla artivists is coming for you. @BrandalismUK is fighting greed, consumption and corruption by taking over public advertising spaces with hilarious (if they weren’t true) spoof ads. @ethos_maghttps://t.co/o93pdOBAyp
