About
Extinction
Rebellion Utrecht
Extinction Rebellion (XR) is an international movement that uses nonviolent civil disobedience as a resistance model in an attempt to halt mass extinction. Founded in the United Kingdom in 2018, it has become internationally known and its ideas have reached tens of thousands of people worldwide. XR is organized in small groups that are connected in a web that is constantly evolving. Groups have emerged in different spots across the globe, including diverse cities in the Netherlands. XR departs from the premise that policy makers are failing to protect their citizens from the catastrophic effects of the climate crisis, and demands them to acknowledge the urgency and act upon it. In addition, XR Netherlands demands a transition to social justice through climate justice. They aim to integrate the values of DIY culture into a collective exercise, working together on building a movement and culture that is regenerative, participatory, decentralized, artistic and inclusive.
