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 

Go to the EVENTS page for the next dates for these and more….

Teams and groups to join

These are teams of people that work together on a common area of work e.g. Media and Messaging who cover press liaison, photography, social media etc. or around a campaign focus e.g. the Divestment working group. Also we have a samba drumming band called Band of Outlaws, to provide the energy and noise at actions.

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.

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

Once a week a representative from each of these groups below is invited to meet together and share information. There is no top level committee or organiser. We call this a self-organising system (more info on this here).

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.

You can search the UK website for training or do online courses at the ‘Rebellion Academy‘
