DAY 5 - Extinction Rebellion takes to the streets across the country today for up to two weeks of civil disobedience.
They will be calling on politicians as they return to Parliament to back the Climate and Ecological Emergency Bill and prepare for crisis with a National Citizens’ Assembly.
The government is failing to do what’s necessary to keep people safe. We are here, taking action, because their criminal negligence is putting lives at risk.

They must not be allowed to carry on like this. We have an opportunity to turn this sinking ship around but we must act now, not next year, not in ten years. Now.

You don’t need to be told by Extinction Rebellion how bad this crisis is. Just look around you, look at California, Brazil, Mauritius, Wales, your own backyard. Our world is unravelling, the collapse of civilisation is now a very real, near-term threat. It’s never been more clear that we are in a state of planetary emergency.

The social contract between government and its citizens is broken. We refuse to be bystanders and wait for this emergency to push beyond the point of no return. While those in the global South burn, while our children are set to pay for our mistakes, while our most vulnerable in society suffer first and worst. This is why we act.
