It's beginning to feel like now or never...

Extinction Rebellion has recently announced a change in tactics, with a renewed emphasis on non-violent direct action but moving away from disruptive actions such as road blocking.

To this end, it is planning a mass action in Parliament Square from 21st April, with the aim of involving 100,000 people. There is further information here.

Understandably, a lot of the detail appears to be in the process of being worked out. The main communication tool being used by XR is Mattermost, where you can register and follow what is going on. From the chat I've seen, it looks as if it is hoped to continue this action at least until the coronation on May 6.

If there is sufficient support locally for supporting this action in London, it may be worth thinking about shared transport, maybe a coach. As a minimum it would be good for people to be in touch with each other and able to buddy up on the day.

I'm not available on 21st (though will be on 23rd), but would be happy to act as coordinator / contact point for those who wish to be in touch with each other. If that includes you, get in touch via the link on this page.
