Getting support from XRUK
There are hundreds of actions a month across the UK. Supporting and promoting every one is impossible. The UK teams also have their own strategies, messaging and comms plans, so will always be on the look out for actions that feed into that.
XRUK can offer different types of support: ideas, logistics, money, comms, legal support etc.
The new Request XRUK Support form brings together request for three of these:
- Listing your action/event on the Movement Calendar/Action Map
- Actions, logistics, legal, rhythms, action support crews etc
- Media and comms support
For spicy actions - please don’t fill in the form - contact Action Circle directly: xr-action@protonmail.com.
And if there is any likelihood of arrests happening during the action, then inform the Back Office team so that your rebels can be supported.
Teams who process this form
Many teams are informed after you submit this form and meet at least weekly to process all incoming requests:
- Actions Carousel
- UK M&M
- UK Comms (non-M&M comms teams)
- Calendar admins (requests processed daily)
More info on these teams below
Actions Carousel
All requests for support from the XRUK actions circles (Actions, Action Support, Production, Creative, comms advice, etc), will be reviewed by the Actions Carousel who meet weekly. For complex actions or those that Actions Carousel need more information about, you might be asked to join this meeting to help the teams learn more.
For spicy actions - you can contact Action Circle directly: xr-action@protonmail.com.
Promotion on XRUK channels

Calendar Admins
There are dedicated UK calendar admins looking at all incoming requests, but you may also have someone with access to add actions/events directly within your Nation/Region teams.
