Dear rebel,
No matter how you feel about the election results, one thing is clear: it has never been more urgent to take the Climate and Ecological Emergency to the top of the political agenda.
And we know we can do it - just look at what we’ve achieved together in little over a year. An independent report published at COP25 this month ranked Extinction Rebellion as the most influential organisation in raising public awareness. We’ve grown from five bridges to five continents, from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands. And we’re only getting more organised; more experienced; more committed. We’re not going anywhere until our world is safe.
Thank you to every rebel, whether you’ve attended an action, made a donation, or spread the message. This movement is flourishing because of every one of you.
But there’s more work to do! In 2020 we want to create a breathtaking surge of action that will make our demands impossible to ignore.
A regular gift from as little as £5 can help us plan ahead, and sustain the movement all year round.
Our mission is beyond party politics: we will always be committed to fighting for this planet and to bringing about the system change that is needed. This will mean holding the new government to account – and it will mean striving to reshape the political world, with a citizens’ assembly informed and empowered to rise above the broken systems and the vested interests which have led us where we are today. The planet needs this movement, now more than ever - so thank you for whatever you can give.
As well as funding to succeed, we need more people! There are roles for every kind of rebel. Join a local group or UK working group and put yourself at the heart of the movement.
With love and gratitude,
The XR Fundraising team
