A Rapidly Changing World Needs A Rapidly Changing You

People fear change. But change charges forward whether you are ready or not. Extinction rebellion is about system change more than climate change.

The day to end fossil fuel-based capitalism is here. People do not feel ready. Do you feel ready?

We believe health concerns are linked to clean air and water. We believe rapidly innovative technology…
