Getting Active and Learning More
You can become involved with XR in several different ways. Just choose the way that suits you best. Remember... it is okay to change to another kind of activity, but please step up and join us. If not you, who? If not now, when?

It's recommended that new XR members learn about Nonviolent Direct Action [NVDA] and your protest rights, even for family-friendly actions.
-
Nonviolent Direct Action workshop is an interactive, 3-hour session with breaks.
- Or 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.
- NB There have been changes to the Police, Crime, Sentencing & Courts Act. For the most updated information please read the Know Your Rights info - linked above.
