SAT 14TH MARCH – XR-MK Welcomes Gail Bradbrook

In response to COVID-19 our planned event for this Saturday 14th has evolved into an online event, to protect the health of rebels, and our wider communities. 

We apologise for the late changes – we had to think quickly and responsibly, and hope that everyone understands. If you made a donation, we will, of course, refund it if you wish. 

So, please join us for this innovative alternative, where Gail will be sharing her thoughts on COVID-19 and it’s relationship to climate breakdown. We’ll also be discussing UK strategy, the postponed rebellion, adaptation and resilience, and how we can support each other and the vulnerable in our community. Join us for a virtual cup of tea, too, for a Q&A panel on whatever we fancy! 

If you have any questions or topics you want Gail or the group to discuss either add a comment here or send them in ahead of time xrmk@rebellionmk.earth

Let’s look after ourselves, and each other. Stay well, love and rage, Milton Keynes Rebels

CAN YOU HELP? – AYLESBURY DIVESTMENT ACTION 28 FEB

Think that we should all be acting together on climate and not profiting from the destruction of our habitat? Think it’s time that our pension actions aligned with the emergency we’re facing?

Then please join us to spread this message about our own local pension funds.

We are looking for people to join us and support a fun visual action in Aylesbury in a few week’s time (music and theatre). No arrestable activity is planned.

Please see the event details for exact timing and location.

Hunger Strike – Personal plea to support MK Council on 23rd Jan

My friend is now in his 4th week of hunger strike outside the Tory
party headquarters in London. He is a regular person like you and I but has
decided that this is what he is prepared to do and has taken time out of his life
to try to promote the climate emergency by sacrificing his health for all to see. 

Could you please be available to come and stand with me in CMK for an hour
on 23 January (6.00 p.m.-7.00 p.m.). Would you be prepared to do this in
support of my friend and Extinction Rebellion?

The reason for the 23rd is that this is the date of our Councils next meeting around the
climate emergency.

MK council have Declared a Climate Emergency nearly 1 year ago see this link to meeting when this happened
