What we’re about
We are a non-violent direct action organization committed to preventing the sixth mass extinction through colorful, joyous disruption. Governments around the world are failing to address the Climate and Ecological Emergency. People power is the solution. Join us at one of our in-person actions pushing for a rapid, just transition away from fossil fuels or at one of our fun, informative Zoom and in-person events.
You're welcome to register here for events, but we also recommend going to our website to RSVP there for most immediate updates: https://xrboston.org/action/.

Heading for Extinction Talk
Jamaica Plain Library, 30 South Street, Jamaica Plain, MA, USRSVP on Extinction Rebellion's Website HERE!
This is an Emergency. Scientists say we have entered a period of abrupt climate and ecological breakdown. We have very little time to avoid societal collapse.
In our Heading for Extinction Talk, we share the science, explore how governments and corporations are lying to us, and invite you to join the movement and help turn the tide. Humanity needs you!
The talk will begin at 3:15pm. Come at 3:00 for plant-based snacks and hot drinks! (Bonus points if you bring your own mug ;)
The talk is interactive and lasts approximately 1 hour. There will be time for questions and discussion during and afterwards.
Accessible. In the basement of library. There is an elevator and wheelchair-accessible bathrooms.1 attendee
