Futures Forum: Extinction Rebellion in Exeter: comment, photos, videos from Saturday's action

Sunday, 31 March 2019

It's demonstrably clear that we need to do something about climate change:
Futures Forum: Climate change > Extinction Rebellion "striking at the end of the world"

As the campaign group says:

We are facing an unprecedented global emergency. The government has failed to protect us. To survive, it’s going to take everything we’ve got.

OUR DEMANDS:

The Government must tell the truth about the climate and wider ecological emergency, reverse inconsistent policies and work alongside the media to communicate with citizens.
The Government must enact legally binding policy measures to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2025 and to reduce consumption levels.
A national Citizen’s Assembly to oversee the changes, as part of creating a democracy fit for purpose.
