Extinction Rebellion, a social justice group focused on climate change, has gained global attention through non-violent direct actions such as occupying Greenpeace UK, disrupting UK traffic, and demanding the UK reduce emissions to zero by 2025. Co-founded by Roger Hallam, the group operates on a holacracy governance system, allowing for democratic participation and efficient decision-making. Hallam, a Ph.D. researcher at Kings College, has a history of activism, including a successful campaign for the college to divest from fossil fuels. Extinction Rebellion aims to educate the public on the severity of the climate crisis and believes that non-violent direct action is the only way to effect systemic change. They propose a citizen assembly to determine climate policy, and after a month of protests, plan to regroup and strategize for future actions, including potential shutdowns of major cities in the UK and internationally.
