Come together on Saturday 26th to have fun, get creative and meet/buddy with others who are taking part in IoS

Venue is easily accessible by public transport, Euston, and step-free.

Get Creative

  • For the week of action, we need banners, placards and props. We'll have resources, paint, brushes, inspiration and suggestions for your placards. If you can, bring fabric or card to paint on (cardboard boxes is fine)

Get Ready for Action

  • NVDA (non-violent direct action) training is essential preparation for taking part in XR action. It covers what is nonviolence and why it's essential; how to keep yourself and other rebels safe and secure; our relationship with the police, how to de-escalate difficult situations and understanding risk of arrest, and more...

System collapse and the zombie apocalypse!

  • The risk of system collapse is very real and will be the focus of Wednesday's action. However, we'll be giving it a lighter twist with a Halloweenish zombie flavour. We can experiment with our Zombie themed make up, and for those who want to, practising the moves for Discobedience 'Driller Killer', to the tune of Thriller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr3pviuED9M
