Join Extinction Rebellion Vancouver in conversation with Seth Klein on mobilizing for the climate emergency. As XR Vancouver gears up for the Spring Rebellion May 1 - 5, we are focusing on mobilizing as many people as possible to demand that the government meets our 4 demands:
A Just Transformation
Government must respond to the climate and ecological crisis with a just transformation that is actively decolonial, prioritizing the livelihoods of workers and the rights of those most oppressed by the present system, including our non-human relations.
Tell the Truth
Government must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change.
Act Now
Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.
Beyond Politics
Government must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice.
