🔥April mobilisation update!🔥
We proudly announce that hundreds of rebel scientists will carry out direct non-violent actions of civil disobedience in 27 countries across the globe in our rebellion week on 4-9 April. 🧵1/n
We will be joined by climate scientist Peter Kalmus @ClimateHuman, Ecologist Aaron Thierry @ThierryAaron, conservation scientist @CharlieJGardner, Earth Systems scientist Niko Froitzheim and many others willing to risk arrest to further the cause of climate justice. 2/n
Our rebellion has spread to Africa and we can count with many rebels there as well. 3/n
We can count on many activists in South and Central America, too. 4/n
We have finalised our demands after several collective meetings. You can sign our letter here along with hundreds of signatories: scientistrebellion.com/our-positions-… 5/n
Our talks series is underway. Top scientists gave stark warning on how bad the climate crisis is, and climate activists offered their recipes on how to act. You can book your place in remaining talks here: scientistrebellion.com/sr-talks-the-r… #SRTalks 6/n
And you can watch our past talks #SRTalks👉youtube.com/c/ScientistReb… 7/n
We are already making news in Spain with top academics like @JorgeRiechmann joining our global strikes.
"We are living an absolute exceptional historical moment [...] The perspectives are of ecocide plus genocide, and we need a strong social reaction. "elconfidencial.com/medioambiente/… 8/n
Our rebellion week will also include climate strikes and industrial actions at various universities. As the system demands the continued misuse of scientists' intellectual labour even as the planet burns, we intend to show the power of withholding that labour. 9/n

Last but not least, please give generously to support our actions. Travelling to take action and preparing materials costs money, and we risk to pay hefty fines. Please consider helping us👉scientistrebellion.com/donate/ 11/n
We are scientists willing to tell the truth about the ecoclimate crisis, and act like it!
Please note that our group is horizontal, so statements may not reflect everyone's opinion all the times. 12/n
Don't believe politicians when they say that limiting temperature increase to 1.5°C is still feasible. 1.5°C is dead! We need a climate revolution or we'll lose everything. Join us on 4-9 April! #ClimateEmergency 14/n
