📢⚠️‼️ HELP: URGENT ‼️⚠️📢

Y'know your mate Barry, do you think he believes in British democracy, does he care about elections and take pride in his ballot?

What about Linda down the pub, do you think she worries about her children's future, does she want them to grow up in a safe, kind world?

And your cousin Jay, who you only see once a year, don't they care about equality, compassion, and the truth?

We all know people who's lives would be better with a truly free press

It's our job to help them see it

We're taking on the billionaire press, on behalf of our children, on behalf of nature, on behalf of decency & justice and on behalf of life itself. We need all the help we can get.

Please, do your part by sending a message to 5 friends this weekend, and ask them to join you.
Send them:

We will no longer stand by & let the billionaire press & their puppet politicians operate in the shadows.

We are here. We are not going away. We stand together.

💥 BREAKING NEWS 💥

The day we've been building towards is here & we've kicked off by dumping a few tonnes of horse manure at The Daily Fail's front door

We've had enough. We're calling bullsh*t on lies, corruption & division

If you're on the fence about coming today, if you're thinking "they don't need me, it doesn't matter if I stay home", think again.

You are needed.

Consider, truthfully, what kind of world you want to live in, and become an active agent in our collective fate.

12pm, parliament square.

See you on the streets.

👏 W O W 👏

What a day. Thousands of us - from different walks of life - came together to challenge the corruption, lies & hate of the billionaire press

We heard from some brilliant, diverse speakers & began building a true moment for radical change

This morning, News UK employees will find they have to walk across a bed of TELL THE TRUTH messages to get to their front door, and check out what happened after everyone left...

This is not the end.

We live in a broken, toxic system and we are coming to a crossroads. Everything rests on what we do right now.

So, this *cannot* be the end.

In August, Extinction Rebellion will be on the streets again & we need everyone to step into their power and take action with us.

Drop in on a local group meeting & continue building the bridges we need to win

United we rise.

See you on the streets.

THE NEXT CHAPTER: We've got a Plan

Spring is here a month early. What else does 2022 hold in store?

Whole villages being swept away in Madagascar.
The 'Doomsday' glacier cracking.
The rich emitting more & more, whilst
The poor choose between eating & heating.

🔥And a world coming out of lockdown ready to rebel

2022 is terrifying... and full of potential for real change.

So, we've got a plan.

Project 3.5 is an idea: to knock every door, give talks in every town, call every number and have as many conversations in our communities as possible - so we can grow in numbers and strength until we're too big to ignore.

There's a role for everyone. Will you help?
Join a call soon to hear more & get involved.


☎️ Weds 9th Feb (specifically for London rebels) 7:00-8:30PM

Here's to making 2022 The Year of People Power ✊

💫 REBELLION OUTREACH 💫
Make Your Plan

Let's pack out Talks and NVDA trainings this April, bringing new rebels along a pathway ➡ to the streets in rebellion

🔥 We've made a commitment to growing the movement - the more of us there are, the harder we are to ignore.

🧩 There's no better time to be speaking to the public than when we're on the streets. We're in the news, in the public consciousness, and most importantly, we're together - bringing energy and creativity and the power of rebellion.

In April, we're setting aside dedicated outreach days.

⌛ On action days, all rebels are invited to take disruptive action. Whether this means arrest if you are able to, or arrest watch, police station support, talking to the public or stepping out of your comfort zone in any other way - we will support each other to participate.

🗣 On non-action days, all rebels are invited to do coordinated outreach.

👉 There are two main avenues to get involved in the outreach effort; read about them and make your plan here:
