Make a huge impact on the climate and nature emergencies by guiding Extinction Rebellion UK [XRUK] Operations.
The Team Guide role is a big job - close to a full-time role - and can work well as a role share between more than one person.
What difference will you make?
Extinction Rebellion UK has three demands. XRUK Operations exists to achieve these via the strategy. You will be instrumental in supporting system change needed to reduce the harm to nature and reaching net zero.
Three Demands
Tell The Truth
All institutions must communicate the danger we are in. We must be clear about the extreme cascading risks humanity now faces, the injustice this represents, its historic roots, and the urgent need for rapid political, social and economic change.
Act Now
Every part of society must act now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero and begin protecting and repairing nature immediately. The whole of society must move into a new precautionary paradigm, where life is sacred and all are in service to ensuring its future.
Decide Together
We demand a culture of participation, fairness and transparency. The Government must create and be led by a Citizens’ Assembly on Climate and Ecological Justice. Only the common sense of ordinary people will help us navigate the challenging decisions ahead.
What are we looking for?
The role can be shared between two or three people, reducing the time commitment necessary. We recommend shadowing for as long as you need to learn about the role and have a robust handover with the current Team Guides.
