#### Heat Strike 
XRUK are part of the coalition of organisations involved with the **Heat Strike campaign**, where people all over the UK pledge to strike on the hottest day of the year. Sign up on the <a href="https://heatstrike.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">heatstrike.uk</a> website and you'll be given the signal to strike.

#### Connecting to people locally
A good way of making sure anyone joining the Heat Strike campaign finds your XR local group is first to join the email list for Heat Strike and you'll be sent a link to join your nation/region WhatsApp community chat. Then you can either find or create a chat for your city/town, e.g. create ‘Liverpool’ within the North. 

For any questions, drop them a line at <info@heatstrike.uk>.
