rebel pathway

The usual first step is to attend is ‘Heading for Extinction’ talk. This covers the latest climate science and then gives information on how XR’s approach to activism is different to most other climate campaigning groups.

The next step is to meet us at one of our monthly welcome meetings, attend an NVDA training or join one of the regular monthly meetings. If you have any questions please contact email hidden; JavaScript is required

working groups

These are teams of people that work together on a common theme. We need people behind the scenes as well as on the streets. If you can offer time and skills, we’d really like to hear from you! Once a week a representative from each of these groups is invited to meet together and share information.

We organise ourselves in a non-hierarchical way using SOS (self organising system). It is very different from the usual ‘hierarchy’ (your boss tells you what to do, their boss tells them what to do). But it doesn’t mean we aren’t organised! Just organised in a more inclusive and more empowering way.

Free training can be accessed for a wide variety of skills and webinars are often offered to broaden our knowledge of climate science, social and racial injustice and much more.

Everyone takes on tasks voluntarily. You can get involved as much or as little as you like.
