REBEL STARTER PACK
Welcome to Extinction Rebellion Mid Coast, we are excited to have you here.
We are living in a time like no other. The Earth’s atmosphere is already over 1°C warmer than pre-industrial levels and we are facing the very real possibility of complete ecological collapse in our children’s lifetime.
The time to act is now.
The fact that you have signed up shows that you care and want to take action and for that we are deeply grateful.

Extinction Rebellion’s 3 demands
1 - TELL THE tRUTH
Government must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change.
2 - ACT NOW!
Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.
3 - BEYOND POLITICS
Government must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice.
