Climate breakdown and ecological collapse are a direct existential threat to us all. You, your family, and everything you love are at risk. Without immediate and decisive action, we face extinction.
‘The Extinction Rebellion is a necessity. Our political establishment has failed to protect its people from pollution, prevent further mass extinction of species on earth and prevent the possibility of human extinction in the near future. Therefore we must rebel to protect the livelihood of citizens and our natural world, or risk losing everything we cherish. ’

We are already in the 6th mass extinction of life on Earth with 200 species lost every day. Every month, there is more extreme weather - floods, wildfires, droughts, and crop failures which could soon lead to famine. Hundreds of thousands of lives are lost to climate breakdown every year. Ecocidal industries continue to profit from this destruction without care for human or non-human life. The media have failed to tell you the full, brutal truth of how dire the environmental crisis is. And your government has failed to act accordingly, instead prioritising money and profit over life. They have us all headed for extinction - this toxic system is killing us.

Another world is possible, and the solutions are within reach. All that is missing is the political will, and a true democracy in which our voices are heard. To save ourselves, it’s going to take everything we’ve got. So we have to join together and act now, uniting in Rebellion to protect life on Earth.
On October 31st 2018 we declared ourselves in Rebellion against Governments for their criminal inaction on tackling climate breakdown and ecological collapse. We repeatedly shut down London’s streets and targeted government buildings with acts of mass civil disobedience, challenging and disrupting the Business-as-Usual that has us and nature headed for extinction.
Since then, hundreds of independent Extinction Rebellion groups have formed in dozens of countries. Each is organising and taking action to pressure their local Government bodies, and disrupt the industries that are destroying our planet and our future for the sake of profit.
We won’t stop until society changes course - until we all start heading for a better world and a brighter future.

Our life on earth is on the verge of extinction! What more reason do you need to start taking this issue seriously? Extinction Rebellion is the group of people who just wish to survive for their supposed average lifetime and not die abruptly because of sudden heat wave,tsunami,flood,drought or any calamity which is happening because of growing global climate change. Governments,at the behest of large industries are trying to paint the glorious picture of great economic growth and prosperity while totally foreshadowing the grave reality of its dire environmental consequences. Right now,we are just asking the government to accept that there is climate emergency and people lives are in real danger because of this. We want more and more people to join us and start working on opening the eyes of our BMC and state administration on the issue of climate change. We want to this issue to be the centre of policy discussion and making administrative decisions. We want politicians and industrialists to stop this assault on natural resources and habitat for the sake of increasing their quarterly results on some stupid excel sheet. We want elections to be fought on this issue. We want governments who will work on this issue. All of this in non-violent way. Our father of Nation has shown us the way for effective use of Satyagraha. Let's just walk on that. Climate change is real guys. Let's not avoid this problem anymore.We are in the Endgame of our own lives. Let's do whatever it takes to SURVIVE.
