October 7th: International Rebellion For The Climate
If you saw my other post about the climate strikes on Friday 20th September, you probably knew this was coming - another, bigger action I’m asking you guys to take.
Starting on October 7th and continuing for 2 weeks, Extinction Rebellion are taking to the streets to protest climate change.
Step 1: Join Extinction Rebellion by going to their website, and finding your local group.
Step 2: Follow Extinction Rebellion and your XR local group on Instagram for updates and information.
Step 3: Get in touch with your local group to find out what their specific role is going to be, and ask how you can join.
UK-Based Participants: sign up for the London Action here and don’t miss the webinars explaining the plan on Saturday and Monday.
I’m planning on trying my very best to get to London for the action - the plan is to peacefully shut down multiple government buildings. I’ll be honest, I’m not looking forward to it. I’m terrified. I’m not a rebel. I have anxiety and I’ve never been to a protest in my life. Travel, crowds, raised voices and conflict all terrify me. But I have to go. I can’t imagine telling a child in 20, 30, 50 years’ time that I did nothing as the world ended.
Please, join in! @extinction-rebellion
