Welcome to XR Worcestershire
This is home to Extinction Rebellion campaigns relating to the whole of Worcestershire and is where all the local groups come together. Our demands are that government (in all its forms) Tell The Truth about the climate and ecological emergency, Act Now to address climate change and biodiversity loss and move Beyond Politics to create a Citizen’s Assembly to lead the way to climate and ecological justice.
Extinction Rebellion Worcestershire currently has a number of local groups and we are always happy to help set up more. At the moment we have XR Malvern, XR Bromsgrove, XR Worcester, and XR Wyre Forest.
You can contact us at xrworcs@riseup.net.
