Today is a good day. Many #civilresistance groups getting their campaigns started or ramping up around the world today - and they're no joke ;)
Check this out!! 10 countries listed below!
Is yours there?
FRANCE
New "Last Renovation" group from France had their very first motorway blockade today... in a blizzard!!
They demand the Gov't do emergency insulation of all of France leaky homes.
Go and give love to @derniere_renov to welcome them to the scene!
UK
New campaign @JustStop_Oil shut down 10 oil terminals today, with help from @XRebellionUK.
They demand the Gov't stop all new fossil fuel exploration & production projects.
They're going to cause proper chaos in the next couple of weeks. I'm so excited.
AUSTRALIA @fireproofaus's campaign kicked off today - they announce they'll be shutting down motorways day after day until their pyromaniac Gov't delivers a plan to #FireproofAustralia.
SWEDEN @vatmarker demands the Gov't restore carbon sinking wetlands.
Today on Stockholm's central bridge. A well-known SocDem politician and venture capitalist was so upset he got out of his car to remove them HIMSELF, giving the campaign a great boost!
CANADA
After a first wave of motorways blockades, @saveoldgrowth now has hunger strikers stepping up.
They won't eat until the minister agrees to meet, to discuss how to stop logging Canada's last remaining old-growth forests.
USA
The group @DecEmergency in Washington had their first action phase earlier this year and are now preparing for the next phase.
They'll cause disruption until the president declares a climate emergency.
AUSTRIA
Are we the #LastGeneration to be able to save humanity from starvation & ecological collapse? @letztegenAT demand their government put an end to soil artificialisation.
GERMANY
Last generation to be able to pass laws to #SaveFoodSaveLives? After a first intense wave of roadblocks early this year, @AufstandLastGen is now getting ready to take to the streets again, until the Gov't passes laws to end foodwaste.
ITALY
Are we the last generation to be able to fix our politics? @UltimaGenerazi1 had an intense roadblock campaign a few months ago to demand a #CitizensAssembly on climate change. They are getting ready to come back for more!
AUSTRALIA @BlockadeAus are only a few months old but made a name for themselves for shutting down immense fossil fuel infrastructure with just a few determined & charismatic people.
Check out this insane video of Max and join their campaign if u're around:
Sent now to @ETH_en colleagues. This is not a drill.
"Dear former colleagues,
Two months ago, I gave up on my academic career and quit my job at our beloved ETH, to organise illegal activities on a mass scale.

And now, after siphonning off all of your email addresses, I’m writing to ask you to come and get arrested with me in 2 weeks in the streets of Zurich.
Obviously, that’s not exactly how I imagined my research career would turn out.

But the Swiss government’s criminal lack of action to prevent the unfurling climate and ecological disasters compelled me to join the international #ExtinctionRebellion.
