To drive radical change, through nonviolent resistance to minimise species extinction and avert climate breakdown
Tell The Truth
We are facing an unprecedented global emergency. Life on Earth is in crisis: scientists agree we have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown, and we are in the midst of a mass extinction of our own making.
Act Now
We are unprepared for the danger our future holds. We face floods, wildfires, extreme weather, crop failure, mass displacement and the breakdown of society. The time for denial is over. It is time to act.
Conventional approaches of voting, lobbying, petitions and protest have failed because powerful political and economic interests prevent change. Our strategy is therefore one of non-violent, disruptive civil disobedience – a rebellion.
Historical evidence shows that we need the involvement of 3.5% of the population to succeed – in the UK that’s about 2 million people.
Go Beyond Politics
If we are to have any hope of coping with the emergency, we have to move beyond the politics that have so far held us back, and into listening, dialogue and towards unity and action.
Extinction Rebellion does not want to seize power, we want to place power in the hands of citizens.
Tell the Truth, Act Now, Citizens Assemblies, Climate Emergency, Ecological Emergency, and Civil Disobedience
We are facing an unprecedented global climate emergency. The government has failed to protect us. To survive, it's going to take everything we've got.
