Extinction Rebellion are planning a four-day protest in Manchester this weekend.
Members are expected to demonstrate from Friday, August 30 until Monday, August 2.
The group has been protesting in cities across the UK since their first actions in London.
In May, protesters took to iconic areas in the capital - including Marble Arch, Waterloo Bridge, Parliament Square, and Oxford Circus - to massively disrupt commutes.
One campaigner even glued his hand to a DLR train while two stood on top of the train's roof.
But who are they and what do they want? Here's everything you need to know:
Who are Extinction Rebellion?
They are a group of climate change activists that believe we are facing an unprecedented global emergency.
"Life on Earth is in crisis: scientists agree we have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown, and we are in the midst of a mass extinction of our own making," says their website.
They believe we have ran out of the "luxury of time" and more needs to be done.
What do they want?
They are campaigning to bring even more awareness to the public about the 'truth' of climate change and are calling on the government to take immediate action.
They want a world climate emergency declaration and for greenhouse gases to be brought to a net zero by 2025.
Claire, from the Manchester Extinction Rebellion group said: "Most Greater Manchester boroughs and the GM Combined Authority have now declared a climate emergency.
"Every policy, including transport, is now supposed to consider its effects on our climate crisis and help cut carbon emissions.
"Yet despite these statements little seems to change and we’re barely scratching the surface of the cuts we need to make.
"Manchester Airport is still expanding, and millions are still being invested in major road developments that will increase car journeys, such as Great Ancoats Street in Manchester."
How are they doing it?
The groups across the country have been and are continuing to stage "non-violent" disruptions and protests.
Alongside blocking roads, the majority of protests include family-friendly activities, art performances and sometimes there are food stands on offer.
The environment group have previously spray painted and glued themselves to government buildings. Earlier this year, semi-naked protesters glued themselves to windows in the public gallery of the House of Commons during a Brexit debate.
The M.E.N understands the Extinction Rebellion protesters this weekend may be aiming to close off a major route such as Deansgate or Oxford Road.
However details will be shared closer to the time of the event.
Greater Manchester Police said that there would be an increased presence and that commuters should plan more time for their journeys.
