Extinction Rebellion will use the 50th anniversary of Earth Day to launch a series of actions targeting the government and the fossil fuel industry for their criminal failure to address the climate and ecological emergency.

Beginning 2020 with Rebellion, Regeneration, and Inspiration

2020 promises to be a critical year for our beautiful and devastated planet. We rang in the new year with blood, fire, and an echoing silence from our delinquent governments. These events have only strengthened our resolve to keep up the fight against ecological collapse and raise our voices for those that have none.
