It's time. This is our last chance to do anything about the global climate and ecological emergency. Our last chance to save the world as we know it.

Now or never, we need to be radical. We need to rise up. And we need to rebel.

Extinction Rebellion is a global activist movement of ordinary people, demanding action from Governments. This is a book of truth and action. It has facts to arm you, stories to empower you, pages to fill in and pages to rip out, alongside instructions on how to rebel - from organising a roadblock to facing arrest.

By the time you finish this book you will have become an Extinction Rebellion activist. Act now before it's too late.

The front cover says this is a “handbook” and it’s not. It’s a bunch of very short essays by various people, many repeating the same things over & over. As a result, it’s really dull. It could have been so much more. It could have been a real handbook. I hope XR stops this edition and makes the real thing, pronto.

WOW, just WOW.

This book was a rollercoaster.
It certainly punches you in the gut when it makes you realise how totally fucked our climate is becoming and what the consequences are.
I became so depressed that I almost couldn't take it anymore and wanted to quit the book.

I'm glad that I didn't, as the second part sparks a shimmer of hope.
It's not too late yet.
But things need to change drastically and fast.

The book outlines the Extinction Rebellion strategy to push governments to do what is necessary to save our way of life. The strategy non-violent and is distilled from history and scientific research.

We still have a bit of time to turn things around, but we have to act now.
Or do you rather explain to tell your (grant)children why you didn't try to save their future?

I am on board.
Are you?
