WATCH THIS VIDEO: WHY WE ARE MOBILISING

Starting on Monday 22nd March 2021, Extinction Rebellion Victoria will be disrupting Melbourne as part of a coordinated national Rebellion in all state capitals. This is a critical act of non-violent civil disobedience, to disrupt business as usual, and draw attention to the climate and ecological emergency we are facing and that the government is ignoring - endangering the lives of all of us, and all future generations of life.

Please fill out this form so we know when you are coming and how you are able to be involved. This is a do-it-together movement, it is through our collective actions that we are powerful.

This is the time to act. Our voices and actions will be amplified by the simultaneous actions throughout the country over this period of national rebellion. This is not to be missed out on. This is how we will save our future. Clear your schedule, book out the week in the calendar. One day you will proudly proclaim "I was there"

About the week:

Camping
We will be occupying Carlton Gardens from Monday 22nd March till Sunday Sunday 28th. That's right, seven days of camping in the city. We will have a full COVID plan and will keep each other safe in this converging crisis.

Actions
Various affinity groups are planning actions throughout the week. There will be roles for everyone who attends, whether able to risk arrest or just dance the disco-bedience. Some actions are pre-planned by affinity groups, whilst some will take place more spontaneously.
