Extinction Rebellion Stroud hasn't added a story.
Rebel for Life
EXTINCTION REBELLION STROUD NEEDS YOUR HELP!
We are facing an unprecedented global emergency. The government has failed to protect us. To survive, it’s going to take everything we’ve got.
We are approaching the International Day of Rebellion on April 15th, with activities and actions continuing for some time after, to demand the government take necessary action on the climate and ecological crisis.
This is a crucial month for our rebels with many actions and activities planned. We need materials for banner making, support pack for our activists on the frontlines and many other essentials to make this happen. WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
If you are in a position to contribute financially it would be an enormous help and will go towards frontline activities happening in London and Stroud. Come join the Rebellion!
Our demands:
- The Government must tell the truth about the climate and wider ecological emergency, reverse inconsistent policies and work alongside the media to communicate with citizens.
- The Government must enact legally binding policy measures to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2025 and to reduce consumption levels.
- A national Citizen’s Assembly to oversee the changes, as part of creating a democracy fit for purpose.
Who we are
We are you! You are so welcome to join us and participate, you don’t need our permission, if you agree to follow our principles and values.
We need to take action in the world and we need to look after ourselves. This rebellion is fuelled by our love, which is growing because we are willing to face the grief of these times.
Principles & Values
-
WE HAVE A SHARED VISION OF CHANGE
Creating a world that is fit for generations to come. -
WE SET OUR MISSION ON WHAT IS NECESSARY
Mobilising 3.5% of the population to achieve system change – using ideas such as “Momentum-driven organising” to achieve this. -
WE NEED A REGENERATIVE CULTURE
Creating a culture which is healthy, resilient and adaptable. -
WE OPENLY CHALLENGE OURSELVES AND THIS TOXIC SYSTEM
Leaving our comfort zones to take action for change. -
WE VALUE REFLECTING AND LEARNING
Following a cycle of action, reflection, learning, and planning for more action. Learning from other movements and contexts as well as our own experiences. -
WE WELCOME EVERYONE AND EVERY PART OF EVERYONE
Working actively to create safer and more accessible spaces. -
WE ACTIVELY MITIGATE FOR POWER
Breaking down hierarchies of power for more equitable participation. -
WE AVOID BLAMING AND SHAMING
We live in a toxic system, but no one individual is to blame. -
WE ARE A NON-VIOLENT NETWORK
Using non-violent strategy and tactics as the most effective way to bring about change. -
WE ARE BASED ON AUTONOMY AND DECENTRALISATION
We collectively create the structures we need to challenge power. Anyone who follows these core principles and values can take action in the name of Extinction Rebellion.
Vision
A world where we build thriving connections within our society and environment, bringing hope and enabling us to decide the direction of our lives and futures. An inclusive world, where we work consciously to ensure fair processes of collective decision-making, where creativity is prioritised, and where our diversity of gifts are recognised, celebrated and flourish.
Mission
To spark and sustain a spirit of creative rebellion, which will enable much needed changes in our political, economic and social landscape. We endeavour to mobilise and train organisers to skilfully open up space, so that communities can develop the tools they need to address Britain’s deeply rooted problems. We work to transform our society into one that is compassionate, inclusive, sustainable, equitable and connected.
Aims
Support and encourage a citizens uprising in the UK (of about 2 million people) involving low level and higher risk acts of civil disobedience by some (with others willing to support those that take actions). When ready, create a participatory, democratic process that discusses and improves a draft manifesto for change and a new constitution. This will involve creating a genuine democracy, alongside an economy to maximise well being and minimise harm.
