Welcome to the website of Extinction Rebellion in Lincolnshire
We are facing an unprecedented global emergency. Life on Earth is in crisis: scientists agree we have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown, there is an ecological crisis and we are in the midst of a mass extinction of our own making. As Greta Thunberg said:
“Humanity is now standing at a crossroads. We have gathered here today because we have chosen which path we want to take and now we are waiting for the others to follow our example. We are the ones making a difference. And we will never stop fighting for this planet and for ourselves, our futures and the futures of our children and grandchildren.”
JOIN US in Lincoln Extinction Rebellion as we continue to raise the alarm about the urgency of the situation.

The March for Clean Water is a coalition of over 50 organisations and groups who are fed up with the state of Britain's waters and the lack of action to restore them.
We are coming together to demand that the Government stops pollution for profit, enforces the law and reforms regulation.
The rally will convey a tone of collaboration, hope and urgency - demonstrating that if we don't see immediate action, we will be back in larger numbers!
NEWS FROM A WORLD IN FLUX
In this first episode co-founder, Clare Farrell and conservation scientist Dr Charlie Gardner discuss the incredible amount of extreme weather around the world in 2023, why net zero isn't enough, and the 2025 battle plan from the American political right, which seeks to dismantle climate action and make it difficult to put back in future.

We need you – whoever you are, however much time you have – to help build a powerful movement. Our vision of change involves mass participation. Together we’re unstoppable.
OUR DEMANDS
Our demands are rooted in love, care and a fundamental commitment to climate justice. The effects of the emergency are being felt now, and will continue to be disproportionately suffered by those who have done least to cause the crises. In the UK, we bear a particular responsibility to the Global Majority, and acknowledge and support the incredible work of the many organisations specialising in the specific issues related to justice.
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 by 2025 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.
Be the change
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.
