Month: September 2022

Are you looking for a way to share your views on the climate emergency? It doesn’t look like things are going to improve with this new government, so it’s up to us to remind the people in power what the problems are and what we can do about them.

Change is now

The XR bus tour comes to Stroud next week and will be parked at Wallbridge, Stroud on Monday 26 September from 10am for the whole day.

Stroud is just one of the stops planned on a long route around the nations towns and cities raising awareness of the climate emergency and other issues. The idea is to listen to what people in the street are saying around this, the cost of living crisis and other topics.

It’s an outreach opportunity and it’s a great time to get back in touch with XR if you’ve been meaning to.

Support our local rebels with their court fines

Even 12 months ago, before the cost of living crisis, many were already having to choose between heating and eating and many thousands suffered cold lonely deaths in homes they couldn’t keep warm. The cost of living crisis has made the situation many, many times worse and it is now universally recognised that we need to Insulate Britain!

Five people from Gloucestershire took part in the Insulate Britain campaign even though they knew they would face legal consequences! They are ordinary people who recognised a huge injustice and stepped forward to demand it stop and now face costs that could total over £50,000. Don’t let Steve, Marguerite, Val, Nat and Andrew pay the price on their own, please donate what you can.

Please send them a donation on this crowdfunder link if you are able, many thanks.
