Exxtinction Emergency (2022)

In 2018, a new kind of climate activism began with a return to direct action; these activists hope to pressure governments around the world to take real action against climate change. Tired of continued government inaction against an existential threat, Gayle Bradbrook and Roger Hallam took their knowledge and experience in promoting social change and constructed a new kind of movement. Using decades of research, they devised a movement built on direct action strategies that can be copied by affinity groups around the world. Now in almost 100 countries, Extinction Rebellion has been pushing the climate agenda to unprecedented success, but not without backlash.
