Thanks @billmckibben.bsky.social for mentioning my new book in your latest newsletter.

1. Guardian fuckery continues. The mass death of billions is getting closer, but hey, "most people are unaware" says the ever innocent Guardian newspaper. Hmm... wonder why that might be?

My new book from prison is out. Here’s what it’s about.

Bristol friends — I’ll be in town for the Suicide book launch at Bookhaus. 🗓 Tue 17 Feb | 6–8pm A conversation about truth-telling, prison, and what it really takes to start a revolution in 2026. £7 incl. a drink. Come if you can.

It is what it is because we don't want to accept that it is. "By setting the famous clock at 85 seconds to midnight, the Board recognizes the failure of leadership of the world as the principal reason for the lowest reading ever." www.counterpunch.org/2026/02/06/t...

The system is broken because it’s run by professionals who exist to protect it. Real change comes when ordinary people organise, take power, and make it accountable. Find out more at www.shakeitup.org.uk

What matters is building the conditions for something better — not just resisting collapse, but remaking the world as the old order breaks down. “People power” is simply the name for what happens when ordinary people organise into a force that can reshape reality. rogerhallam.com/how-to-start...

Today's new book. @rogerhallam.com

Happy to see both the work of Ernest Becker (The Denial of Death) and Greenberg, Solomon, and Tom Pyszczynski's terror management theory mentioned here. Both were such paradigm shifting schemas for my understanding of the polycrisis.

Liberal culture cannot say the word “death,” even as billions face it. Euphemism has become a form of violence — and the first step to resisting collapse is naming reality without flinching. rogerhallam.com/why-euphemis...

If you keep hacking away at your legs, it's just a matter of time before you fall over - right? Meaning, if you are to stop committing suicide then you have to stop the hacking. "Suicide" : Part memoir, part political reckoning. rev21.earth/product/suic... www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Climate is not the murderer. The elites are. Climate is the knife; the murderer is the one who uses it. rogerhallam.com/the-elite-de...

Community assemblies are the new frontline of class conflict: the administrators vs the administered. They’ll try to derail the common will with “engagement” and pompous speeches, but change is coming.

I’ve started putting up video essays and podcast recordings on YouTube — some recorded in prison, some since getting out. No pressure, but if you want to follow along here''s the link: www.youtube.com/channel/UCnr...

I had a great time reading in prison. Here are my highlights.

I’ve been out of prison six months and I’m back organising: door-knocking, assemblies, building resistance. I write plainly about what’s coming and what we must do. No bullshit, no cold comfort. Subscribe if you want truth and strategy. Donate if you can.

We live in a universe – do we want a place in this infinite miracle? Do we want to stand for life? Do we want to live rather than die? rogerhallam.com/the-elite-de... www.foodnavigator.com/Article/2026...

You don’t change politics by winning arguments. You change it by organising where you live. Big thanks to @JimmyTheGiant for the shout-out on this. Real change starts with listening, trust, and fixing things together locally.

Build a revolution from the ground up: start by listening, organise around real local needs, then scale into assemblies that can outgrow broken politics. A practical roadmap from door-knocking and campaigns to national coordination, built for the crises ahead. youtu.be/HCazz4vLNQg

Twice the size of Paris turned to ash. Villages gone. Families scattered. Lives lost. Chile burns under a state of emergency. This is the cost of a world set on fire - slowly, then all at once. www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2026...

Sharing this piece by @rogerhallam.com (co-founder of Extinction Rebellion): 'How to Start a Revolution in 2026' It’s a provocative read about why the current political system is failing. The points on 'going to the people' and building power outside of traditional politics really speak out to me.

It tells us that “ecosystem degradation is occurring across all regions. Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse (irreversible loss of function beyond repair).”

4BillionDead Welcome Talk Friday, January 30, 2026, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm Join us to hear the new and ground-breaking ways in which Roger Hallam & the 4BillionDead project will be putting the climate crisis at the forefront of the public’s minds in new, inspiring ways. rev21.earth/events/?hx_o...

1. A few things are now certain - "it" is going to happen - mainly because they don't want you to know it's going to happen. And when it does, in two parallel universes, there will be two radical divergent paths.

My book on being sent to prison for climate is out today. Thanks for the 190 indie pre-orders. All funds to the Revolution.

Burn the Planet and Lock Up the Dissidents — the foreword by Chris Hedges to my new book Suicide. The book is out tomorrow, but you can already listen in to the foreword, read by Eunice Wong:

AI is being rolled out everywhere without our consent. That’s a political choice. Join the PULL THE PLUG launch call to hear how AI is already reshaping real lives — and why its future should be decided by citizens, not billionaires. Mon 2 Feb, 7–8.30pm Register: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Very apt title. While the American Empire appears to be committing suicide, the human species is definitely committing collective suicide. I look forward to reading your book.

Our first book review comes from author and scientist, George Tsakraklides! Thank you George for the kind words.

“These protestors are not criminals — they are messengers.” — Open letter signed by 1,200+ public figures incl. Brian Eno, Annie Lennox, & Philip Pullman Suicide, written from prison, is out this week. A book about climate truth, the law, and repression. rev21.earth/product/suic...

The Rev21 workshop will unpack our vision, strategy, and active projects, explore post-modern ideas, and guide you through the inner work needed to create real, lasting change. Expect a fully interactive session with space to reflect, share, and build a culture of collaboration

If you want to understand where this is heading — the criminalisation of dissent, the stripping of jury trials, the logic of repression — read my new book, Suicide. Written from prison, it lays out how states respond when truth becomes a threat. rev21.earth/product/suic...

It's time for Revolution. Let's be absolutely clear - the neoliberal regime is facilitating fascism by protecting the rich from paying for the project of stopping civilisational suicide. Ordinary people can run society — we must build the structures to let them. rogerhallam.com/how-to-start...

Did an interview for Republik Magazine on XR, Roger Hallam & Rev21. As usual, only a few lines made it in so I’ve posted the whole thing, uncut, for anyone who wants to dive deeper into our world 👀 robinboardman.com/beyond-the-q...

New CO₂ data just dropped — and it’s obscene. Emissions aren’t slowing; they’re accelerating. 7.97 ppm in three years. A record. We are now at 428 ppm. This is what Trump-style denial, far-right sabotage, and liberal cowardice look like together. The system is driving us off a cliff.

There is not a chance in hell that any neoliberal government is going to save us. Time for a progressive Revolution. rogerhallam.com "A major long-term shock to imports could lead to malnutrition that overwhelms the NHS, says Professor Benton." news.sky.com/story/uk-cri...

This is the death wish. It is supported by a century of psychoanalysis, social psychology, and history: under existential threat, societies often choose self-destruction over transformation. Assemblies must be presented with the evidence of this ... rogerhallam.com/the-elite-de...

2026 is being called a tipping-point year. A U.S. political system at breaking point, authoritarianism looming, tech power consolidating, Europe fracturing, hybrid war mutating, AI entrenching and water growing scarce. Revolution is coming. www.eurasiagroup.net/issues/top-r...

Take your place in the assembly movement! The atmosphere is getting heated. Tensions are rising. I’m standing in a corner of an inner city public hall during a community assembly. The room is filled by about 150 people, sat around small tables ... rogerhallam.com/community-as...

I'm out putting up posters in Brixton for a local elections campaign. This is about taking power out of closed rooms and putting it back where it belongs: with residents. shakeitup.org.uk
