Getting Active and Learning More
You can become involved with XR in several different ways. Just choose the way that suits you best. If your first or second choice doesn't feel like the right 'fit', it's fine to change to another kind of activity, but please step up and join us. If not you, who? If not now, when?
To find an XR group near you, or a Community Group:
Get Involved - Local Groups map and Community Groups contact information.
Keen to find out about a role and join a Working Group?

It's recommended that new XR members learn about Nonviolent Direct Action [NVDA] and your protest rights, even for family-friendly actions.

Prepare for Action workshop is an interactive session with presenters.
- You can take the NVDA module on the Rebellion Academy (XR's online learning platform) in your own time. You will need to create an account on the Rebellion Academy so you can save your progress.

Know Your Rights [KYR] (updated Nov 2023) - is key information for everyone. It's focused on UK [Westminster] law. For actions outside England and Wales, your local group or region or nation should be able to offer advice.
- You can take the KYR module on the Rebellion Academy

NB There have been changes to the law through the Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Acts. For the most updated information please study the Know Your Rights info - linked above.
