Inclusion, connection and rebellion

Action Prep

At the beginning of 2024, we decided to align our relationship work more directly with action. So we now include a specific “Action Prep” session in our monthly face-to-face sessions (third Sunday of the month – see Events).

These sessions support Extinction Rebellion members and friends to develop their actions. We give particular focus and support to these action goals:

  • Stopping new coal, oil and gas projects
  • Stopping native forest logging

Our goals for Action Prep are to:

  • develop actions with immediate impact that are aligned to Extinction Rebellion’s three demands
  • focus on nonviolent civil disobedience (because it’s the tool Extinction Rebellion is best positioned to use)
  • design actions that are regenerative and inspiring through the deliberate use of joy, inspiration and emotional processing
  • communicate the entwinedness of climate, ecological and social justice
  • embody the society we want in our action design and practices
  • connect with other parts of the activist ecosystem to create actions with maximum synergy and impact
