What is a Local Group?

We organise in small, autonomous groups distributed around the world. These groups are connected in a complex web that is constantly evolving as we grow and learn. We are working to build a movement that is participatory, decentralised, and inclusive.

A Local Group (LG) is a group of people that gather to create an Extinction Rebellion community presence in a local area by building support and taking action towards XR’s three demands. In this way, they are similar to traditional forms of community organising. A crucial difference is that XR local groups decentralise into different Working Groups as much as possible.

Principle 10: WE ARE BASED ON AUTONOMY AND DECENTRALISATION.
We collectively create the structures we need to challenge power. Anyone who follows our core Principles and Values can take action in the name of Extinction Rebellion.

ForYou everythingcan look for a group close to where you needlive toon know to run or start a local group, see ourthe Local Group Essentials Guidemap. If you can't find a pin on the map close enough to you, then either you could click on the hourglass symbol to join your Nation/Region.

Alternatively you could get in touch with the Local Group Support team to help you find individual rebels close to you and perhaps set up a new group. Contact this team on their Mattermost reception or by email - LGsupport@extinctionrebellion.uk
