Day to Day Action Plans

Overview

Actions start from Monday at 11am in the City of London and will run through to Weds afternoon.

There will be ways for everyone to get involved from mass participation actions to ‘spicier’ targeted disruption. Think visits to insurer HQs, holding space, performances, music, Flash Mobs, drumming, outreach - cheeky and fun, but focused and determined to get our message through.

Details of each day will be added to the sections below and posted on the Rebellion Broadcast on Telegram.

Food

Lunch will be provided by 'Food For All' each day at the mass actions.
Please remember your tupperware and spork to eat with, we will not be providing disposable plates.

Join us on Monday 28th October at 11am in City of London as we march to the insurers, demanding they cut ties with the fossil fuel industry. Exact location tbc - but note that Tower Hill Tube is the nearest underground stop. March leaves 11.30am!

🛶 The look of the action - Help us recreate a scene of flooding with inflatable life rafts, flood warning signs, climate crime scene and flood levels.
