So let’s talk about it.
DISOBEY is a series of monthly online talks discussing the many ways to engage in nonviolent direct action.
Each talk will be a focused conversation on a specific tactic that anyone can use. Build your power and rewire the system through everyday acts of resistance.
The DISOBEY talk series is dedicated to the many methods of collective nonviolent direct action available to us all.
A monthly, hour‑long online gathering will host a speaker who delivers a 30 mins talk on a specific nonviolent direct action (NVDA) tactic, followed by a Q&A session managed by an XR Host/Presenter
Each session features speakers with real-world experience, breaking down specific tactics—from boycotts and silent non-compliance to fly-posting—empowering you to take meaningful action right where you are and at the level you feel comfortable.
Please join us – to build community, disrupt the status quo, and reclaim power in a broken system. Let’s turn ordinary choices into revolutionary acts!
talk 1: the UK water pollution scandal
With Caz Dennett and Steve Conlon from the XRUK Dirty Water Campaign team.
Wednesday 8th April, 6-7pm
April 1 was the billing date for UK water bills. But water companies charging us to dump sewage in our rivers and seas is no joke.
If you’re tired of water companies making enormous profits out of polluting our precious waterways, while the regulator looks on and we pay through the nose, now’s the time to act!
Caz is an experienced campaigner on water who has withheld waste water payments since 2023.
Steve runs the campaign Water Pressure, building public calls for a Citizens’ Assembly on Water
Discover the full spectrum of resistance, including:
- bill boycotts
- local actions
