Extinction Rebellion Derby

Reform are willing to inflict flooding, drought, crop failure and ultimately death on British people just to appease their fossil fuel funders. In this way they are no different to the political parties of the last 40 years who put corporate interests over the lives of their citizens.

"Reform received £2.3 million from fossil fuel interests, polluters and climate deniers between the 2019 general election and the start of the 2024 campaign, amounting to 92 percent of its funding during this period.

This included £200,000 from First Corporate Consultants – a firm owned by Terence Mordaunt, a former director and chair of the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), the UK’s leading climate science denial group. "

🩷 UPGRADE DEMOCRACY - SAVE THE DATE!

So why camp out on the King’s lawn for three days from 30th August?

Simple answer; our system is outdated and broken at every level. The monarchy is just one example of unelected power, wealth and influence.

By gathering thousands at this symbolic site near where the Magna Carta was signed, we show our commitment to a fairer, more inclusive system.

Our democracy needs an upgrade! So we are taking action to:

✊ Get rebels empowered and trained up to take nonviolent direct action

✊ Make Upgrading Democracy headline news and get people talking

✊ Amplify our demand for citizens’ assemblies.

WHAT’S THE PLAN?

Over 3 days XRUK will come together to go from the world as it is, to the world we need. From despair to hope; powerless to empowered!

👉 Day 1: The System is Broken | Fri 30th Aug
Join a big theatrical action to highlight how oily money controls our world.

👉 Day 2: Upgrade Democracy | Sat 31st Aug
March to deliver letters to the King, written by you! Afterwards join a huge Massembly asking how we can upgrade UK democracy?

👉 Day 3: Another World Is Possible | Sun 1st Sep
Love is action. Step into a noisy, life-affirming march and grand finale.

🩷 We need YOU to make this happen!

More details coming soon!
