On October 7th, Extinction Rebellion will return to London! We need your help to save our planet. We need #EverybodyNow
This is an Emergency
As Greta Thunberg and George Monbiot outline in the video above, we are facing an unprecedented global emergency. Life on Earth is in crisis: scientists agree that we have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown, and we are now in the midst of a mass species extinction of our own making.
We are unprepared for the danger our future now holds. Against the incontrovertible evidence of human-induced climate change, our governments have continued to do nothing. In consequence, we are now faced with a future of floods, wildfires, extreme weather events, crop failure, mass displacement and societal breakdown. Some of these processes have already begun. The time for denial is over; the time for action is now.
Why We Do What We Do
Conventional methods of voting, lobbying, petitions and protest have failed because powerful political and economic interests prevent change. The current system works in their favour. XR therefore uses non-violent civil disobedience to disrupt the status quo, to prevent the continuation of this suicidal and genocidal system.
What We Will Do Next
In light of this, we are going to London for two weeks from October 7th to occupy key sites around Westminster and engage in non-violent acts of civil disobedience.
We do this to create a crisis that the government can no longer ignore, and through this demand urgent and proportional action on the climate and ecological emergency.
Come and Join Us!
The best thing you can do is to come and join us in beautiful rebellion in London in October. If, however, you are not able to do so, or do not feel comfortable doing so, the next best thing is to support the rebellion with a donation.
We are currently fundraising to build a unique and artistic stage structure for our occupation site in Westminster. In April, we snuck a giant pink boat emblazoned with the demand 'tell the truth' into Oxford Circus. Symbolising a life raft out of the climate and ecological crisis we face, rebels attached themselves to her using super glue and lock-ons to secure the location. After 10 days she was confiscated by police, prompting the viral hashtag #WeAretheBoat.
This time, we are going bigger, and we are staying longer, but we need your help.
We would love for you to come and join us in London, but if this is not possible or if you do not feel comfortable doing this then you can support us by sponsoring a building block. We need as many people as possible to give us enough money to build this rebellion. Please donate today!
