Last week, the State House Stand-Out for #NoNewFossilFuelInfrastructure celebrated our 202nd day! The XR choir sang protest songs, activists shared inspiring words, and participants "died" outside the entrance to illustrate climate deaths. Every day, we demand our government act!
New report by International Energy Agency @IEA: thinking you can fix the climate crisis via carbon capture and storage is “an illusion.”
Oil and gas industry needs to let go of carbon capture as solution to climate change, IEA says https://t.co/KdWre5a7zK
“What do we want?” “Ceasefire!” “When do we want it?” “NOW!”
Healthcare workers at Yale New Haven walk out to rally for Palestine 🇵🇸

We demand @WhipKClark call for a CEASEFIRE NOW!
We are Muslim, Jewish, Christian, and UU constituents marching in Malden. Parents and children. We will not stop speaking out until the genocide stops!
If you care about children, you must call for a ceasefire
We started out with 13 members on our Ceasefire Now Resolution when we introduced H.Res 786 one month ago. Every day, our movement for peace grows stronger #CeasefireNow.
Five years ago today, rebels took to the streets to challenge the UK Government's climate inaction. We read our 'Declaration of Rebellion', gave impassioned speeches, and blocked our first road.
Since that day, we've been in continuous REBELLION.
For many around the world, the Rebellion had been going on for generations, and Extinction Rebellion really just joined their fight. We added more colour, creativity, and above all: fierce love and rage. We grabbed the imagination of many and soon grew into an international movement.
Ordinarily, an organization reaching 5 years is a cause for celebration. But not for us. Our presence today signals that we haven't yet reached our goals.
It's unacceptable that we're still here, that our friends are behind bars for doing what's right, and that the world faces more carbon emissions, deforestation, pollution, species extinction, and conflicts while our planet burns and drowns.
Extinction Rebellion UK is extending our community beyond our movement. We are reaching out to friends in other spaces, organising actions, events, and community assemblies to learn from each other and build the world we want to see on a local level.
Our focus will then be, once again, on Westminster, where we'll push for our Third Demand: the Citizens' Assembly on Climate and Ecological Justice.
If the government doesn’t listen, this time, we won't leave until our demands are met!
People wonder if Extinction Rebellion is still relevant after 5 years.
We say, now more than ever, we must #UniteToSurvive.

Convened by XRBoston our coalition has maintained a daily standout at the Massachusetts State House every work day since early June. Our goal (aim, desire, demand,) is No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure in the state. Recent climate moves by the Governor have not included this.
Let's finally give our Leaders, Presidents, PMs, Politicians an ultimatum........
Keep on writing fossil fuels licences and sanctioning more oil, and we will make sure you are not put back into power........
"LET'S FINALLY REMOVE THOSE WITH OILY MONEY ON THERE HANDS"........
This marks the 101th consecutive business day that climate activists have been standing out to demand No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure in MA, covering new gas hookups, expanded airports, new pipelines, compressor stations, gas terminals, etc. The Stand-Out began on June 5th.
A holocaust of 2.5M people trapped in a strip of land is taking place, right now, by those who suffered a holocaust before and should know better. Meanwhile, the holocaust of the 6th Mass Extinction is almost at its peak. The entire planet is descending into abrupt #collapse
