Hands up for #NOGOINGBACK
🙌👫🙌👭🙌👬🙌👫🙌👭🙌

REBELS, its time to show our strength! 💪🏽❤️
✊🏾

Right now, countries across the world are bailing out climate destroying industries and the banks that fund them. This is our money going to Big Business and Polluters instead of People and Planet.

🇪🇺This week, European Union will release a €2 trillion investment recovery plan from the pandemic. Airline companies want €26bn in European taxpayers' money. The UK has given £700m to EasyJet, with no commitments for people and planet.

🚫This is breaking the Paris Agreement. In other words, it breaks the only agreement for keeping our world habitable.

🙌👫🙌👭🙌👬🙌👫🙌👭🙌

It’s time to resist. This isn’t a petition. It’s a rebellion.

If Governments bailout polluters, what will you do to rebel?

🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏽‍♂️Show that we're still here, and we will take action: https://actionnetwork.org/forms/nogoingback/

'Youth For Climate Action' with XRYouth Solidarity 3-5pm🙌
Young people have always been central in changing the world, shaking up the established order and driving change in communities. We have a lot of power if we recognise it and join together. In this short film screening/workshop we will explore the work done by young activists outside the dominant western culture through short films and creating space for new conversations around YOUTH CLIMATE ACTION. We are all part of something bigger which we might not be recognising!

Decolonsing degrowth : Voices from the majority world 6-8pm 📉
Degrowth is a multifaceted concept that escapes single definitions. One of them defines it as a movement as well as a call for radical social, political and economic transformation, associated with a democratically-led and equitable reduction of resource, material and energy throughput, starting from the overdeveloped West, aimed at improving well-being, ecological sustainability and global justice. A degrowth economy would be decolonised, democratised, based on care and the commons. Join XRY and @Degrowthtalks for the second of the #NoBackToNormal #degrowthtalks series with Mladen Domazet, Miriam Lang and Brototi Roy!

Visioning with XRY UK Regenerative Cultures 4-6pm🌍
Visioning is the blending of creativity and activism! “To truly hope, we must be able to articulate clearly and compellingly what it is we’re hoping for.” (Farhad Ebrahimi) “What Extinction Rebellion has brought is a revolution of action. But right now what we also need to concurrently be happening is a revolution of the imagination. We need artists to start dreaming and extending the boundaries of what is and what is not possible.” (Sam Knights, XR Rebel) In Visioning Club, we will come together and imagine the better world we want to live in, because only by knowing what we want can we truly strive towards it. Alongside our guided group discussions, participants are invited to draw during the discussion.

The Role of the Youth Voice 6-8pm 📢
In the Role of Youth Voice workshop we will look at how important the youth voice and experience is to bring about the change that is needed in the world today. Together in groups we will discuss our own experience and how it relates to what is needed in XR and wider youth movement. It’s time that we realise the power and fire of youth, and know that just by being who we are, we are enough.

Hey, we are a team in XR Youth UK who are aiming to align our purpose with our structures.
Your feedback is crucial to how we go forwards as a movement and for how the voices of local groups are heard in the future. The first step in this is feedback on XR Youths purpose and aims and how you see our role in the movement.

We are looking to shift the role of the XR Youth UK team to support local groups and move power into the hands of local groups. This will be done by working between the national and local teams to make important decisions.


Here is the google site where everyone in your local group can find out how to give feedback to us on our purpose and role in the movement. We would love to see everyone from your local group filling in the form or coming onto the open calls. You can find out where to feedback to us in the "how you can feedback" tab:

The Eco-Facist History of Conservation 4pm
#Conservation is seen in the West as a progressive force for good. But its history is mired in #ecofacism and #racism which stills underpins many of its projects in much of the world today. @xryouth_uk and @xr_youth have asked three people from Survival International who have worked in the frontline of this issue for many years to say what they think and respond to questions in a public zoom call. Live-streamed WED 3rd June 4pm BST!
The event will be livestreamed from XRY, XRISN, XR Global & XR UK facebook, twitter and instagram.

FRIDAY FILM NIGHT ANNOUNCEMENT 7PM BST 🎥
We'll be watching 'Just Mercy' together and pausing for discussion during it! Just Mercy is a true story about African-American lawyer Bryan Stevenson who heads to Alabama to defend those wrongly condemned or those not afforded proper representation. One of his first cases is that of Walter McMillian, who is sentenced to die in 1987 for the murder of an 18-year-old girl, despite evidence proving his innocence.✊🏿 https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0oceqvpzMiHdCUORINpX0uobFl6TgJjNYR
We are standing in solidarity with Filipino activists to fight against an oppressive terror bill which would prosecute and endanger activists who speak out against the government. Anyone that dares to join in “terrorist organizations” ー any organization that speaks out against the government ー could be arrested or detained without a warrant and jailed for 12 years to life. People in President Duterte’s cabinet would be appointed to make up an “anti-terror council” to decide the fate of anyone deemed “terrorists” instead of independent courts.

We need you to help stop this bill because the president will sign it in a few days. To help, please repost the graphics at https://bit.ly/Junkterrorgraphic1 and https://bit.ly/silentthursdays. The hashtags you should use are #junkterrorbill and #uniteforph! And take action at bit.ly/jnkph

THE PRESIDENT WILL SIGN THIS IN A FEW DAYS so please send this to your local group asap!!

Decolonizing conservation: WTF WWF!! 5-7pm🦍
In XRY Solidarity we have been shocked to learn what our indigenous partners have told us about the realities of conservation projects on the ground, especially in East and Central Africa. There is a much darker side to conservation than any of us had previously imagined: it originates from its history, from its relationship with industry and from the wrong assumptions about nature that many conservationists hold. Because of these issues, conservation across the world is even failing to conserve. But there is a solution to this tragedy, and we can be part of it.
