Organised by The XR Internationalist Solidarity Network, XR Youth and the Environmental Justice Bloc, join the 2 week occupation in Central London to coincide with Extinction Rebellion’s October uprising.

The Global Justice Rebellion is about linking with resisting groups on the frontline of the environmental crisis. These struggles - which are mostly in the global south - and the demands and people involved will be at the very front and centre of the fortnight of activism and events. The role of deep global inequality, current and historical power dynamics, capitalism and colonialism will not be forgotten, and we will build a politics of solidarity and systemic change.

Join us for a fortnight of music, talks, art and struggle as we celebrate the frontline communities of resistance that are the fighting forces of the world. All our livelihoods are dependent on their success:

*** “they have to win for us to win” ***

Communities in the global south have been struggling against the real impacts of climate injustice for many years. We need to demonstrate to these communities how a mass movement here in the UK can connect to, and strengthen their own efforts defending their local environment as well as their efforts to influence the global picture.

Record numbers of environmental activists are killed, with around four people a week putting their bodies on the line to protect and preserve our natural world. These communities are in constant rebellion, in spite of the risks. We need to be able to make assurances that when they mobilise their communities – in the Global North we will be in solidarity and make their struggles heard.

Their resistances must be reflected in ways directed and led by frontline communities. Visually, graphically and audibly in the streets of London – their voices must be amplified to make sure the world sees their struggle.

We will create a space of cultural resistance, representing organisations across the world. We plan to make space for outdoor exhibitions, sharing the long history of internationalist solidarity and global resistance. We want traditional dance, folklore, live music, art and film which raises consciousness. The idea is to create a family-friendly space which allows us to communicate and share stories in a safe space.

What does it look like to embody this notion of collaborative solidarity? How do we shape actions and spaces which achieve this? We want this space to embrace an authentic democracy which invites groups and individuals to be involved in exploring questions such as these.

We want this site to explore wider questions and issues with regards to collaboration with XR UK and the Movement of Movements. We want to test out our views, embracing critical discussion and reflection.
