Life on planet Earth is on the brink of a mass extinction caused by human greed, ignorance, and lack of serious action. Unless we unite in protest against this terrible outcome, our species and many others will be lost. This is the basis of #ExtinctionRebellionAmerica, which is founded on four core demands - tell the truth and act on its reality, net zero carbon, citizens assemblies, and social and climate justice. Terry Rankin, a leader in this movement, discusses these essential demands.
What is the best way to inform and ignite the public to the danger which is already upon us? Non- violent protest has many historical precedents and is essential to pressure governments to stop subsidizing the destruction of our planet, and to take the steps necessary to address the dwindling possibilities for our survival.
