We are in the midst of a climate and ecological emergency, the scale of which is unprecedented in human history. Yet our government sits on their hands and is failing miserably in their duty to protect people from this existential threat. There is no shortage of ideas about what can be done. What is lacking is the political will to act with the speed and urgency requires to prevent the worst case scenarios unfolding.

Extinction Rebellion is an international apolitical network using civil disobedience as a strategy to persuade governments to act on the climate and ecological emergency. The clear message is – WE WANT TO LIVE!

This induction session comes in four parts:

1. A summary of the dire situation we are facing.

2. Why Extinction Rebellion is using civil disobedience as a strategy – our theory of change.

3. How we work as a self-organising system unleashing the energy and creativity of all members.

4. How to get involved – connecting with other local people to take action together and supporting each other.

WE PAY OUR RESPECT TO THE TRADITIONAL OWNERS AND CUSTODIANS WHO LOOKED AFTER THIS LAND FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS. WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS LAND WAS STOLEN FROM THEM AND THAT SOVEREIGNTY HAS NEVER BEEN CEDED.

Made with love and rage by Extinction Rebellion Australia,
(XR) is a do-it-together movement. All our design and artwork can be used non-commercially for the purpose of planet saving. This does not mean creating merchandise for fundraising or sending XR a percentage of your sales. We do not endorse or create any merchandise and we will pursue and prosecute anyone who does. The Extinction Symbol was designed in 2011 by street artist ESP, who loans XR usage on the same basis: www.extinctionsymbol.info
