Floods, fires, melting ice caps and record temperatures. Scientists warn we are entering the danger zone for runaway warming and societal collapse!

It's a Code Red for humanity. Governments must declare a climate emergency, take action to halt the warming, and begin the enormous task of climate repair. Our government must act on their duty of care to protect us and preserve a liveable planet for our children.

It's time for ordinary people to rise up and prevent the greatest crime in all of history. It's time for mass civil disobedience. We've tried everything else. It's time to rebel.

Donate for Life

We are all volunteers and do this for love of life. We can make a few dollars go a long way but what you see on your television screens doesn't happen without some expense.

We print flyers to get the word out, pay for art materials to make the rebellion beautiful and huge banners to make the message visible. We hire a hall where we can run workshops, feed hungry rebels and build a strong community.

Please donate as little or as much as you can to help us meet our expenses (if you can).
