Change is Now Tour! - Extinction Rebellion UK

Change is Now Tour!

Join the Change is Now Tour in your town or city from September 20th – October 13th!

On Tuesday Sept 20th, we will launch our fleet of rebellion buses which will travel the length and breadth of the UK, visiting local groups to celebrate their work, offering tools and resources in mobilisation and Citizen’s Assemblies, and building a narrative across the movement and the country – that we’re all in this together and together we can get ourselves out of it.

The Change is Now Tour aims to run at least one Peoples Assembly in each of the 12 XR Regions and Nations as we travel, to take the energy of this Rebellion up and down the UK and showcase our big solution: Citizen’s Assemblies on Climate Crisis Now.

Extinction Rebellion has always been willing to stake our faith in the integrity of everyday people over politicians. That’s why we demand a Citizens’ Assembly on Climate and Ecological Justice. 

The situation is urgent and that means it’s time to slow down and listen to each other. So, travelling the UK and hearing from ordinary people about the need to upgrade politics and the power of deliberative democracy is our vital.
