Design Elements Index

Index of the action design elements, grouped in categories to help you find what you need. Some ideas are in multiple categories.

Introduction to Design Elements

These design elements have been collated from ideas from the UK Creative Circle and gathered from actions seen all across the movement.

Have a look around, get inspired, you can chop and change anything on this actions menu to tailor it to be more relevant to local issues in your area.

Ideas for getting started

We are all crew. This means the rebellion starts with you, we are all part of the team and we find ways for everyone to be included. If you don’t have a local group, you can make one, or take action with friends! We get stuck in and learn on the job! All you need is the willingness to create change.

Here Comes Everyone

Our current strategy is about gaining a wider spectrum of support. We are encouraging you to think local and also expand outwards to groups outside of your usual circles. This could involve engaging with different religious groups, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) and LGBT+ groups.

Top tips for engaging with different communities outside your own:

How to turn these ideas into reality

There is more guidance on the Rebel Toolkit in regards to 'planning actions' and 'participating in actions'

It is always recommended to do ‘Know Your Rights Training’, before taking part in actions.

Performance and Theatrical

Red Rebels, dance, theatre, clowning, puppet shows and all kinds of dressing up and sillyness.

Spreading the Word

Getting the Extinction Rebellion name and logo and CEE messages out there. Connecting to people outside of the movement.
