Why Love & Rage?

It's really important to focus on the 'and', the ability to hold both together. Love AND Rage.

Together year on year, we have all been witnessing the most immense betrayal of life imaginable, the roaring of wildfires across Europe say it all. We know what’s happening, and we know, that at massive cost, the climate and nature emergency is being wilfully underplayed and ignored by those in power.

It’s vital that we don’t let anger feed into aggression, violence or more divisiveness – it so doesn’t help. The world is already absolutely stacked with that, so as Extinction Rebellion - we resolutely hold a commitment to stay rooted in love, nonviolence. To do things in a different way, holding by our Principles and Values.
