Extinction Rebellion America’s Three Demands

Tell the Truth

All institutions must communicate the danger we are in. We must be clear about the extreme,  accelerating and cascading risks humanity now faces, the injustice this represents, its historic roots, and the urgent need for rapid political, social, and economic change.

Extinction Rebellion America’s (“XR America”) primary focus is telling the Truth. As Roger Hallam says, truth itself is a virtue. XR America is not here to win; we are here to tell the Truth. Although we believe we will win, we do not concentrate on winning because if we do, we will start down the rabbit hole of compromise and reformism. 

Act Now

Every part of society must act now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025 and begin protecting and repairing nature immediately. The whole of society must move into a new precautionary paradigm, where life is sacred, and all are in service to ensure its future.

Decide Together Through Citizen Assemblies

We demand a culture of participation, fairness, and transparency. The Government must create and be led by a Citizens’ Assembly on Climate and Ecological Justice. Only the common sense of ordinary people will help us navigate the challenging decisions ahead.
