Hi John,
Extinction Rebellion is making a bold New Year’s resolution for 2023: we’re quitting actions that target the disruption of the public.
This is a big decision. Public disruption has raised the alarm on the climate and ecological emergency incredibly successfully. But while the alarm has been raised, nothing has really changed.
So in 2023, it’s time to try something different.
This year, we will prioritise attendance over arrest, relationships over roadblocks. Because when the government goes low and tries to shut down dissent, we need to go even bigger in response and become impossible to ignore. And that means bringing everyone along.
