Extinction Rebellion Global Newsletter

Dear rebels,

Every day we move closer and closer to a state of irreversible climate chaos, ridden with sickness, greed and desperation. Or – we can choose to move toward global societal change and a world we want to live in. The choice is ours. Don’t feed the system, feed the future.

Today we bring you exciting but incipient news of planned Rebellions all over the world. From Poland to Australia, through September and into early October, with more dates being added all the time. (Re)connect with your local group here.

This month we focus on actions across Asia and the Middle East. It’s heartening to see members of XR using their energy in collaboration with other movements and organizations to move towards a common goal.

In Turkey, rebels are working hard to support the protection of Mount Ida from a Canadian gold mine. While in Israel, rebels helped blockade parliament to raise awareness of anti-democratic laws. And in Taiwan, rebels marched to demand clean air and cut coal use.

We look to Helsinki where rebels have just finished a 12 day hunger strike. Also we cover the Indigenous Emergency action, highlighting the plight of Indigenous cultures across the world during these times of crisis and struggle.

From the XR Global Blog

With less than a week to go before the Rebellion begins in the UK, the energy is high and rebels are hard at work. Have you seen the awesome September Action Pack yet? Heard about the CEE bill? How about this great new animated video?

Finally, in our Must Read section we publish a selection of posts from the XR Global Blog. The Blog publishes weekly articles which shine a light on the threats that face us and the new tactics being used to fight the climate crisis.

As ever, be sure to browse our Unchained for a selection of all the excellent and juicy actions we couldn't fit in these pages.
