Today, EXTINCTION REBELLION TURNS 7 YEARS OLD 💚 Love & rage

📣 Olivia Blake MP, Chair of The Climate and Nature Crisis Caucus: “This Caucus will restore a shared sense of purpose and rebuild consensus, resist division and remind the country that action on climate and nature is not optional. It is essential.” environmentjournal.online/headlines/cl... #CNCC

#HurricaneMelissa has hit. 185MPH winds. Flash floods. Landslides. Key infrastructure ruined. More than 77% of Jamaican without power. The worst storm in Jamaican history intensifed to a category 5 in less than 24 hours. This isn’t a “natural disaster”, this is climate breakdown. #ExtremeWeather

A storm made more deadly by climate change has hit Vietnam. 1.7 meters (5’7”) of rain fell in 24 hours. More than 103,000 homes have been hit. Landslides have cut off traffic and knocked down power grids. 💚 thank you to the people facilitating mass evacuations. phys.org/news/2025-10...

Day 3 of walking the length of the River Wharfe. Em & Mark were met by family and friends on their 13 mile walk. They talked with this chap who was so enthusiastic about the campaign he wanted to get involved & have his photo taken with the XR flag! 💙 📸: Gerard Liston #WaterPollution #River

#CongoWeek2025 THERE IS A SILENT GENOCIDE HAPPENING More than 7mil people displaced. Over 6mil killed, 1/2 are children. 🇨🇩DRC is bleeding while wealthy parts of the world benefit from their natural resources. US & UK have given military and financial aid to groups invading cobalt rich areas.

No major banks have yet committed to stop funding new oil, gas and coal, research finds #Climate

Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere soared by a record amount in 2024. We’ve hit another high. Storm Amy hit harder than expected, 42,000 homes had no power. So why are we still stepping away from climate commitments? When those in power fail to act, we must stand and be counted.

💚 A massive thank you to the ART FACTORY. They created so much, not only for XR, but for others in the ecology of movements too. Their generosity, skills and #imagination helped others too - they were always willing to reach out, helping many groups to achieve #socialchange. #Artivism

Talk online: “This challenge needs a new approach!” from Prof Jeff Waage Mon 13th Oct 7pm GMT After 40 years of work in agriculture and advising gov, Jeff joined @extinctionrebellion.uk in 2019. Jeff will talk about his experiences and future direction. Q&A us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Em and Mark on day 1 walking the length of the River Wharfe. They walked through flood water and saw red squirrels, dippers, a heron, kestrels. 💙 Water is life. We need water and it needs us.

💚As an individual we hold so much power. As a collective we are even stronger. Think about who benefits from keeping us isolated and silent. In times of atrocity, destruction and genocide, the courage to act to disrupt, to resist, to disobey is a right and moral responsibility to many.

AXA hiding their logo at a recent protest. Nothing says transparency and commitment to our planet like hiding your logo at our action. You enable and profit from the problem, and then hide away when we expose the truth. ‼️AXA, do better.

There was almost one discharge into our waterways every 30 seconds in 2024. Thousands of people fell sick from contaminated water while our biodiversity is depleted. 💙Our waterways are the arteries and veins of the earth. If we pollute those waterways, life will die. 📸: World Water Wedding

For #WorldNewsDay we transformed the outside of the BBC with climate photographs and placards. Now. Can the BBC be transformed with people-powered ownership? The headline is: we need media that serves the planet and people not power. mediarevolution.org/news/world-n... #MediaRevolution #OwnTheBBC

In 2024 alone, banks injected $869 billion into fossil fuel financing. 💚💚 Our DIRTY SCRUBBERS were out cleaning blood, oil, and greenwash from Banks in Eastbourne yesterday 💚💚

The #mega-rich are treating the planet like their personal playground:
🤑 dodging taxes 💨 mega-polluting our planet 📈 driving up prices 🏘️ buying up houses 🏥 crumbling the #NHS #BILLIONAIRES EMIT MORE CARBON POLLUTION IN UNDER 3 HOURS THAN THE AVERAGE BRIT DOES IN A LIFETIME

🚨Thousands joined a coalition of groups for @makethempay.bsky.social yesterday ‼️ The richest 1% produce more than twice the amount of emissions as the poorest 1/2 of the population Together we demand: ✅ Tax the super-rich ✅ Protect the workers, not the billionaires ✅ Make polluters pay #TaxtheRich

The summer is over - and for about 16,600 people across 854 European cities that doesn't mean autumn comes, but death. People who would still be alive if it wasn't for our burning of fossil fuels. - New study with @lshtm.bsky.social www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/pub...

We made it to the front page! 💗thank you so much @ipswichnews.bsky.social for highlighting our campaign and to our amazing rebels who stepped onto the street highlighting insurers role profiting from war crimes & climate collapse. Read their article here: www.ipswich.co.uk/articles/ext...

Feeling overwhelmed by the endless waves of bad news? That’s not an accident, it’s a tactic! Authoritarians flood us with chaos to wear us down. They want us to stop paying attention. But we can fight back. 💥 Resistance isn’t always loud. 🌿 Softness isn’t surrender, it’s strategy.

World Water Wedding campaign expresses love. Make some noise about how passionate we are about our water. Lets give the government nowhere to hide in their scandalous abuse of our precious lifeline. Water is ours. #worldwaterwedding #waterpressure #dirtywater #Actnow #extinctionrebellion

This is about survival. Our future depends on dismantling the violent and exploitative systems wrecking our planet. Insures sell us protection while secretly financing harm. Insure Our Survival are targeting AXA and AIG two insurers responsible, 8th-22nd September. 💗We will take back the power.

Two rebels have committed to walking the whole of the River Wharfe. They’ll do this between before March 22nd to deepen their connection and raise awareness of the threats that it faces. Water is sacred. 🌊We need water, water needs us. @dirtywatercampaign.bsky.social

Politicians need to listen to scientists, not just the lobbyists. It’s more important than ever our institutions advocate for the public good that science brings… 💚Collective action is crucial. theconversation.com/how-scientis... @thierryaaron.bsky.social @tristramwyatt.bsky.social

Equinor's biggest oil terminal has been blocked by @extinctionrebellion.no demanding that Norway phases out oil and gas. At the same time the fight against the Rosebank oil field continues... Activists across the world are united. Something massive can grow from a small seed.

📈2,300 people died during 10 of heat across the 12 cities, around 1,500 more than would have died without climate change. Heat has long been called a “silent killer”. A change of just a few extra degrees can kill thousands. 🤒It causes dizziness, organ failure, & cardiovascular collapse.

🪦FUNERAL FOR NATURE: a procession of loss, love, grief & resistance The UK is one of the most nature-depleted on Earth. 💐97% of UK wildflower meadows have been destroyed 🐞Insect populations have dropped over 60% in 20years 🍀Our message is one of hope. We must make space for wildlife.

The human body cannot withstand temperatures this hot. ‼️We must stand for children and elderly people, people with pre-existing health conditions, people in the global south, and those in our communities. 🗣️🗣️Extreme weather is the new norm, it’ll affect us all

Beautiful hand-made letters our incredible volunteers delivered to insurers underwriting our destruction. Insurers what will you choose❓ Profits or people? Money or a healthy planet for your grandchildren? 📮You have one month respond until we launch our international phase. Better get thinking…

New heatwave due. Symptoms include: Major disruption as public transport grinds to a halt. Amber health alerts. ‼️600 extra heat-related deaths - children, elderly and those with health conditions most affected. Extreme weather is now the norm and the UK isn’t built for it. But it’s not too late…

Peaceful demonstrations against the proscription: 200 arrests. Non-violent protestors dragged away by police & raids. Violent far-right protests have led to terror, people afraid in their own communities. Police injured, missiles thrown, property vandalised. This hasn’t been branded “terrorism”.

Extreme weather drives food price surges across the globe https://on.ft.com/44V1jqr

⚠️The UK government is actively involved in genocide changing laws to silence resistance They’re with the people who are destroying communities in Gaza, a place of everyday terror And behind? Insurers It is the same businesses that insure homes and underwriting the policies obliterating Gaza

🚨BREAKING NEWS:arrests at Turo Cathedral The Terrorism Act does not conform to international law. The UN Human Rights Committee said the definition of terrorism is “unduly restrictive of political expression”. In times of destruction & genocide, the courage to act is a right & moral responsibility.

💗DIRTY INSURERS AWARDED The Collateral Damage and The Enabler Award given outside the British Insurance Awards: “Your chance to live forever” celebrating “insurance excellence” What excellence? Ecocide, war crimes You are celebrating insuring human rights violations youtu.be/UkJllHQkH3k?...

A despicable approach to carbon emissions: attempting to destabilise the Green energy market @edmilibandmp.bsky.social we re in your corner. Please share/comment if you agree @mvtfwd.bsky.social @femi-oluwole.bsky.social @philmoorhouse.bsky.social @peterjukes.bsky.social @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

Extreme weather is now the UK’s new normal. 🌡️ 600 expected extra deaths from this heatwave in England and Wales The most effected? Vulnerable people, pregnant, pre-existing health conditions, young and old. 📈Growing flood risk. Uninsurable homes. #ClimateJusticeNow share.google/bYm3tIOIrecY...

🚨BREAKING NEWS: die-in at AIG 30 insurers have pulled out of EACOP. AIG are yet to rule this “carbon bomb” out which would unleash 379 million tons of pollution. Climate breakdown is: 📈tripling the cost of insurance for ordinary people. 🌡️ making areas uninsurable and unlivable. #ClimateAction
