The Emergency
This is our darkest hour. Government has failed to protect us. Scientists agree we have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown, and we are in the midst of a mass extinction of our own making. We face floods, wildfires, extreme weather, crop failure, mass displacement and the breakdown of society.
The time for denial is over. It’s time to ACT.
Our DEMANDs
Government must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency.
Government must halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.
Government must be led by the decisions of a Citizens' Assembly on climate and ecological justice.
We must prioritize the most vulnerable people to create a livable, just planet for all.
WHAT REBELLION LOOKS LIKE
Conventional voting, lobbying, petitions and protest don’t work. We declare ourselves in rebellion against our governments and the corrupted, inept institutions that threaten our future.
Nonviolent Direct Action
Research shows that disruptive nonviolent tactics are the only way to achieve lasting change.
DEMOCRACY That works
Citizens’ Assemblies around the world are tackling issues politicians are unwilling or afraid to touch.
DECENTRALIZED NETWORK
Our principles and values and self-organizing system enable a truly global movement.
REGENERATIVE CULTURE
The world we want to live in requires a culture that is healthy, creative, resilient and adaptable.
