John - make yourself super rich from the climate crisis!

Before we tell you how you can support XR’s big moment, let’s see how you can make yourself super rich from the climate crisis!

 

1 - Set up an energy company solely mining fossil fuels

2 - Tell a high street bank all about it and get your share of £12.9bn to expand production

3 - Charge extortionate amounts to your customers to maximise your profits

And finally

4 - Don’t spare a thought about the billions of people who are suffering from a heating planet

We know it. You know it. This isn’t fair!

We keep seeing big energy profits being broadcast, but there is something that we can do. 

 

XR needs your support to build alliances to create the most beautiful, inclusive protest the Government has seen. From April 21st, the Government will witness the demand to end the fossil fuel era. Let’s confine fossil fuels to history by demanding a halt to all new licenses and funding for fossil fuel exploration & extraction, and profiteering that comes with it.

 

A gift from you today will power this collective action.


With your help, we want to go big - huge in fact! But to achieve this potentially transformative protest of 100,000 people coming together in a safe and positive way, we need resources. We need you.


Your donation will be spent on ensuring that this protest is a welcoming, safe, and inclusive action. We want everyone joining XR from April 21st at the Houses of Parliament to enjoy their experience of helping achieve something massive! 


Here are some examples of how we spend donations that come from people like you:

 

Your donation will be spent on ensuring a safe, inclusive event for all. Here’s what it could buy:

  • £15 to make our message known on a large banner
  • £20 for a first aid kit
  • £40 to help spread the word with 2,000 flyers
  • £50 to pay for 10 stewards to have high vis vests
  • £100 to feed 10 people for a day

Your donation today can help build a much-needed community that is the beating heart behind this impressive action.

 

Let's be there, together,
XR UK Fundraising Team
