@ExtinctReal @XrYouth @ScotlandXr @XRSlough @GJRSite @XRDisabledRebel @XREducators @XRUniversities Hi there! 👋🏼 Could you please DM us with more specific details? We’ve definitely seen the documents circulated on various comms channels (incl. some local group chats), so would be good to have a better understanding of what precisely has been blocked and by whom.

Dear people of #Slough, we have spent the past few months collecting some AMAZING books on climate justice 😘.

Today we are opening the collection as a FREE library accessible to all.
Please read on, RT & share!

So whose truth will the citizens assembly be considering -will they be told about UK fairshare is -202% by 2030, or the history of wealth extraction of the global South, & the racism that sacrificed the global South? https://t.co/MKnLAGoOuY

@alanwilliamz Hi Alan! 👋🏼

We’re definitely interested in interrogating invisible power structures and presumptions of leadership in the movement. If there are any specific incidents you’d think would be worth sharing with us, please email them to [email protected]!

@keduzi @XRLiberation It looks like putting marginalised people at the heart of decision making and strategy decisions - something we're not yet doing imho.

[XR Cambridge @xr_cambridge]

When judges rule that civil disobedience against inaction on the climate crisis is justified on the basis of preventing a greater harm, then something in the culture is shifting.

A huge victory and a warning to our political leaders: get on the right side of history.

How can we make the centralised aspects of XR's power structure (social media, website, representatives) follow the inclusivity model of Demand 3 (a citizen's assembly) more closely? Is there any info about their diversity? @ExtinctionR @XRLondon @XRLiberation @GJRSite

[XR UK - Trade Unions @xr_TradeUnions]

With the rebellion over, we return to our communities to build our movement.

We’d like to thank trade unionists from:

[Extinction Rebellion Scotland @ScotlandXr]

This legacy must be considered when we talk about climate justice & a just transition! Under neoliberalism (the latest incarnation of colonialism) western wealth continues to be built on the brutal exploitation of people & the land. To save the Earth white supremacy must end!

[Extinction Rebellion Ireland @ExtinctRebelsIE]

We pledge to rebel against @BP_plc and hold them accountable for their crimes against indigenous peoples and the ecosystem. Thanks for asking 🙏

[Health for XR @DoctorsXr]

Climate change is an issue of justice.

As health professionals working in the interest of patient & population health, we can’t be complicit in racist health charging
