Equal parts inspiration and strategy, this session will provide you with the key information you need to find a way to meaningfully tackle the absolute shi#fu#kery of our current situation characterised by:

• Current and escalating climate and ecological breakdown,
• a complicit political system beholden to the fossil fuel elites and
• a statistically concerned yet inactive population.

The first half of the gathering - from 3 - 3:30 - will be a chance to hear from others and share your story about deciding to act on this emergency. Then we will share our plan of mass mobilisation - which means growing our numbers and coming together in escalating waves of rebellion til we have 10’s of 1000’s of people participating in nonviolent civil disobedience across Australia, and the key resources we have developed to help us do this.

The second half of the session, beginning at 3:30, will cover:

• the practicalities of where the Victorian mobilisation team is up to,
• a check-in on our current goals for starting new local XR groups, and
• the ways that you may be able to help.

It is ideal that you have already attended a Heading For Extinction and what to do about it talk before coming to this gathering. You can watch one online here or check out the upcoming events on the national website here to find one in person.

This session is hosted by the Vic Mass Mobilisation working group - to contact the group email: andrewgeorge@protonmail.com. This gathering takes place on the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation, we acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. We acknowledge that First Nations people around the world have been on the frontline of extinction and in rebellion for a long time, and that continues to this day. We acknowledge that we are in a climate and ecological emergency, and our actions today have implications for the very habitability of our planet.
