About Us
Extinction Rebellion (or XR for short) is an international movement that uses non-violent civil disobedience in an attempt to halt mass extinction and minimise the risk of social collapse.
Our members, here in the King’s Lynn and West Norfolk area, support the aims and methods of Extinction Rebellion.
We are promoting mass “above the ground” civil disobedience – in full public view. This means economic disruption to shake the current political system and civil disruption to raise awareness. We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience that this causes.
We are about political change, not personal change (although we welcome both).
We are completely nonviolent, our actions are done in full public view, and we take responsibility for them. The Extinction Rebellion Action Consensus outlines how we work together on actions.
Our Campaigns
As a small local group, we have a number of ongoing and previous campaigns under our belt. You can read more about these issues on the links provided. We also work with other groups and organisations, both informally and formally, to bring about change.
There are other groups across the country which represent different types of people. Some in our local group are part of these groups:
