The world is on fire. Get ready to take action with Extinction Rebellion NYC!

Join us to learn how we use nonviolent direct action (NVDA) to address the climate emergency. We’ll share information about risking arrest, de-escalation during actions, police interactions, and your rights when performing civil disobedience. What is it like to get arrested? To plan an action? To lock arms in defiance of unjust laws and actions? To sing and chant for freedom and a livable planet? For every rebel arrested, there are 10 more working behind the scenes. Now is our time to build our people power. Come find your role!

John Lewis said, "Don't get lost in a sea of despair...Our struggle is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble."

The evening includes a presentation and plenty of time for questions, conversation, and connection in XR NYC's Community Space.
