Extinction Rebellion York

We work together to plan actions, talks, events and training. We also join larger protests and demonstrations. You can find pictures of our most recent demonstrations here. We’re always looking for new ideas and skills to create effective actions. To find out how you can get involved, visit our Join Us page. Extinction Rebellion York (XR York) is part of the international environmental pressure group Extinction Rebellion. . We use non-violent direct action and civil disobedience to urge decision makers and leaders to act now to reduce the impact of climate change. Our campaigns led to the City of York Council declaring a climate emergency in 2019 and pledging to reach Net Zero by 2030. We have 3 key demands: Tell the Truth: The government must declare a climate emergency. Act Now: The government needs to act now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero by 2025. Beyond Politics: The government should create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice. Our core principles include non-violence, building a regenerative culture, challenging the toxic system we live in, breaking down power hierarchies, and achieving climate justice.
