Rebel Daily 2: If the trees die, so do we

September 03, 2020 By XR Newsletter

(Sign up to the Newsletter here) On the first day, we found our feet and planted them in our public spaces. On the second day, we really got down to business. Rebels moved like water to target specific sites of ecocidal atrocity. Manchester rebels expressed their outrage at fast-fashion giant BooHoo and the greasy GMA pension fund. In Cardiff, rebels painted sea level rise predictions in blue chalk paint onto shopfronts to evoke the very real prospect of most of the city being underwater by 2050. Online,…

Rebel Daily 1: Boats, Bills and and Boris the Bank Engine

September 02, 2020 By Extinction Rebellion

(Sign up to the newsletter here) Arrrrgh! Consider the CEE bill, me hearties! Photo: Gareth Morris You wouldn’t think we’re out of practice! Across three cities yesterday, rebels poured onto the roads in carnivals of creativity and disobedience. We’ve only just begun, but what matters is we’ve found the magic once again: parents and their children, teens and retirees, so many people, beliefs and backgrounds, all coming together in a sea of colour, love and empathy. In Cardiff, things went vertical with climbers on Welsh government roofs opening proceedings for a day of drums…

Happy Rebellion Eve, Everyone! Let’s Look After Each Other Out There

August 31, 2020 By Extinction Rebellion

What a weekend it’s been! Talk about kicking rebellion into gear, that was a Bank Holiday to remember. From Lightship Greta making her way from Brighton to London, Mad Hatter’s tea parties at airports, banner drops all around the country, projections on power stations, doctors going on a sticker rampage and oily handed marches (to name just a very small selection of all your amazing actions!). No one could’ve asked for a better precursor to the September rebellion.  Everyone involved should be insanely proud of themselves. A HUGE well done and thank you to all rebels who took part! You’ve…

XR’s Back – Sound the Alarm!

August 31, 2020 By Extinction Rebellion

(See here for web version, sign up here) It’s the eve of rebellion! 2020 hasn’t been an easy year, for people or the planet. Confined to our homes, many of us have had little option but to ‘doomscroll’ and wait. Unfortunately, the ecocidal elements of our society have been just as busy as ever. Whether it’s airlines or oil barons, pollution giants are doing everything they can to bring on a ‘dirty recovery’. Our leaders are utterly complicit in this, with policies that are leaving even…
