Also in Trafalgar Square…

Performance Art: Human Connection
? 5.30pm
? Trafalgar Square

A mass human performance art to demonstrate the power of human connection through Reconciliation*

In this moment of intensity, may we come together to remember our humanity and unite in togetherness.

This is not a demonstration but a defiant act of what it is to be human, to be willing to put aside our differences and drop everything we hold onto against others in order to unite under the cause of climate justice.

This is an opportunity for people of all and no genders to come together to let go of external pain and projection so that we can come back to a place of internal peace, centredness and empowerment.

Vauxhall – Regulations and Donations

No drumming or loud noises on our site please. It scares the horses at nearby City Farm, who are kindly offering us water and access to their toilets. City Farm need donations to keep running, so please show them some love for their amazing hospitality. Donate now!

️SANCTUARIES AND REBEL HOSTS

Buildings have been offered by local communities especially for rebels to dry off, recharge yourselves and have a restful night’s sleep. We highly recommend tonight and going forward you use these spaces in preparation for the coming actions. Please see here for opening times:

Rest well!

KEEP IT PEACEFUL

Based on only 1 reported incident, we want to make clear that physical or verbal violence of any kind is outside of XR principles. If you see anything like this, or anyone claims it’s somehow been sanctioned by XR or XR actions, this is not true!

No one from XR sanctions violence.

If you witness any violence from rebels please find Deescalators, wearing white bibs, to help calm the situation

ACTING BOLDLY 

In this time of ecological emergency, we act boldly because it is both our moral duty to protect life and also our sanctioned civil duty.

It is enshrined in the law that those who act out of necessity to protect others (e.g breaking down the door of burning buildings to save those inside) are not breaking the law.

To act according to the TRUTH means disrupting business as usual to prevent a greater crime – the destruction of our ecosystems. For some, this means sitting in the road and for others it might mean disrupting major infrastructure such as buildings, tubes, motorways and airports ️

Small groups of people can create an incredible amount of disruption which more closely focuses the public’s attention on an issue because they are actually affected by it.

To build pressure on the Government, we need more brave rebels who are up for high levels of disruption, those who are willing to risk short periods in prison and even prison sentences. We have a fantastic team to support rebels on this path.

Regardless of which level of civil disobedience you undertake, every rebel is respected for their role within the rebellion. It is with our ferocious love and dedication that we can turn this system around.
