What is a Local Group?

We organise in small, autonomous groups distributed around the world. We are working to build a movement that is participatory, decentralised, and inclusive.

Local Groups bring a feeling of togetherness and shared purpose to local people and a great way to connect a local area to the wider XR community. Local groups also provide a crucial mechanism for planning and implementing actions, growing XR, and building links with other sympathetic groups to create a movement of movements.

Local Groups are autonomous but connected. They follow the Principles and Values, and take action towards XR’s three demands.

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.
