💚 Love & rage

#HurricaneMelissa has hit.
185MPH winds. Flash floods. Landslides. Key infrastructure ruined. More than 77% of Jamaican without power.
The worst storm in Jamaican history intensifed to a category 5 in less than 24 hours.

This isn’t a “natural disaster”, this is climate breakdown.

“From chatting to people along the way, we've been really encouraged by the awareness about river pollution.

The unfortunate downside of more people out means a huge increase in the amount of litter collected. We all have a responsibility to help look after the places that we love”, reflected Em.

Day 3 of walking the length of the River Wharfe.

Em & Mark were met by family and friends on their 13 mile walk.

They talked with this chap who was so enthusiastic about the campaign he wanted to get involved & have his photo taken with the XR flag! 💙

THERE IS A SILENT GENOCIDE HAPPENING
More than 7mil people displaced. Over 6mil killed, 1/2 are children.

🇨🇩DRC is bleeding while wealthy parts of the world benefit from their natural resources.
US & UK have given military and financial aid to groups invading cobalt rich areas.

The warehouse & workshop is currently no longer funded.
We’re hoping alternative funding can be raised to allow them to continue their amazing work in another space and form.

Pieces of art and modern history were created and clever, fun & theatrical actions came together at the Art Factory.

💚 A massive thank you to the ART FACTORY. They created so much, not only for XR, but for others in the ecology of movements too.

Their generosity, skills and #imagination helped others too - they were always willing to reach out, helping many groups to achieve #socialchange.

Em and Mark on day 1 walking the length of the River Wharfe.

They walked through flood water and saw red squirrels, dippers, a heron, kestrels.

💙 Water is life.
We need water and it needs us.

💚As an individual we hold so much power.
As a collective we are even stronger.

Think about who benefits from keeping us isolated and silent.

In times of atrocity, destruction and genocide, the courage to act to disrupt, to resist, to disobey is a right and moral responsibility to many.

There was almost one discharge into our waterways every 30 seconds in 2024.

Thousands of people fell sick from contaminated water while our biodiversity is depleted.

💙Our waterways are the arteries and veins of the earth.
If we pollute those waterways, life will die.

In 2024 alone, banks injected $869 billion into fossil fuel financing.

💚💚 Our DIRTY SCRUBBERS were out cleaning blood, oil, and greenwash from Banks in Eastbourne yesterday 💚💚

The #mega-rich are treating the planet like their personal playground:
🤑 dodging taxes
💨 mega-polluting our planet
📈 driving up prices
🏘️ buying up houses
🏥 crumbling the #NHS

#BILLIONAIRES EMIT MORE CARBON POLLUTION IN UNDER 3 HOURS THAN THE AVERAGE BRIT DOES IN A LIFETIME
September 22, 2025 at 11:01 AM
🚨Thousands joined a coalition of groups for @makethempay.bsky.social yesterday

‼️ The richest 1% produce more than twice the amount of emissions as the poorest 1/2 of the population

Together we demand:
✅ Tax the super-rich
✅ Protect the workers, not the billionaires
✅ Make polluters pay

Feeling overwhelmed by the endless waves of bad news?

That’s not an accident, it’s a tactic!
Authoritarians flood us with chaos to wear us down. They want us to stop paying attention.

But we can fight back.

💥 Resistance isn’t always loud.
🌿 Softness isn’t surrender, it’s strategy.

Two rebels have committed to walking the whole of the River Wharfe.

They’ll do this between before March 22nd to deepen their connection and raise awareness of the threats that it faces.

Water is sacred.
🌊We need water, water needs us.

Aurora joining with 200 people who joined at Equinor, Norway’s largest refinery.
‌@extinctionrebellion.no have created the largest action in Norwegian history.

Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realise we cannot eat money.
August 21, 2025 at 3:09 PM
Equinor's biggest oil terminal has been blocked by @extinctionrebellion.no demanding that Norway phases out oil and gas.

At the same time the fight against the Rosebank oil field continues...

Activists across the world are united.
Something massive can grow from a small seed.

Ceremonies are sacred. Water is sacred. 

They are powerful. Fundamental to life.

👰‍♂️🤵Extinction Rebellion are holding a World Water wedding, bringing us into deeper emotional connection with the nature around us.

An exciting month of actions, happening near you.

📈2,300 people died during 10 of heat across the 12 cities, around 1,500 more than would have died without climate change.

Heat has long been called a “silent killer”. A change of just a few extra degrees can kill thousands.
🤒It causes dizziness, organ failure, & cardiovascular collapse.

🪦FUNERAL FOR NATURE: a procession of loss, love, grief & resistance

The UK is one of the most nature-depleted on Earth.

💐97% of UK wildflower meadows have been destroyed
🐞Insect populations have dropped over 60% in 20years

🍀Our message is one of hope.
We must make space for wildlife.
July 29, 2025 at 2:49 PM
New heatwave due.
Symptoms include:
Major disruption as public transport grinds to a halt.
Amber health alerts.
‼️600 extra heat-related deaths - children, elderly and those with health conditions most affected.

Extreme weather is now the norm and the UK isn’t built for it.
But it’s not too late…

Peaceful demonstrations against the proscription: 200 arrests. Non-violent protestors dragged away by police & raids.

Violent far-right protests have led to terror, people afraid in their own communities. Police injured, missiles thrown, property vandalised. This hasn’t been branded “terrorism”.
July 23, 2025 at 4:40 PM
🚨BREAKING NEWS:arrests at Turo Cathedral

The Terrorism Act does not conform to international law. The UN Human Rights Committee said the definition of terrorism is “unduly restrictive of political expression”.
In times of destruction & genocide, the courage to act is a right & moral responsibility.
