How Extinction Rebellion Was Born - watch and share this 6-minute video about Extinction Rebellion.

Declaration of Rebellion - a powerful and emotional statement read outside the Houses of Parliament when Extinction Rebellion was launched in October 2018.

XR was joined by over 200 other groups and organisation of all kinds, to tell the Government that we demand an immediate transition from a fossil fuel economy to a green energy economy, and that a Government funded Citizens' Assembly be established to formulate plans for the transition. During The Big One, informal Peoples' Assemblies were held daily and XR's strategy for the coming year grew out of those Assemblies.
