Welcome!
We are a non-violent direct action movement demanding urgent action in the face of the climate emergency. We are members of the community in Chelmsford and surrounding areas who agree with the aims and methods of Extinction Rebellion. We are proud conscientious Earth protectors. There is no Planet B.
“I’ve been thinking about getting involved with XR for quite a while. I’d like to get my children involved. Everyone’s been nice and it’s a really friendly bunch.”
Sally, mum of 3.
Ways to get in touch
We’re a friendly bunch – join our next meeting by keeping an eye on our Events page.
We send out a weekly newsletter, which you can subscribe to here.
We have a Facebook page where you can follow local updates as well as more in depth information around the climate crisis and solutions. All our public events are listed here too.
We have a Facebook group to chat and engage with each other online; we are a supportive and positive group and we’re encouraged to contribute so we can get to know each other. We have guidelines members need to adhere to, adopting the XR motto. All people are welcome, but not all behaviours.
We’re on Twitter, Instagram and YouTube as well.
If you want to get in touch by email, you can do so here.
Ways to get involved
We recommend that if you’re curious or want to get more involved, to join us for an induction – often held just before our Whole Group Meetings on the second Friday of every month*.
Keep an eye out on our Events Page for the next meeting. We are also experimenting with hosting these online, so stay tuned.
Anyone who is curious about participating in actions is strongly recommended to receive Non Violent Direct Action training. Keep an eye out on our Events Page for the next local training.
We have various working groups in XR Chelmsford: Arts, Community, Tech, Communications, Lobbying, Samba – if you’d like to support one of these groups please contact them directly. We’re all volunteers so please be patient with us.
*Not always so please do check
There might be an XR Essex group a bit more local to you: XR Colchester, XR Southend, XR Thurrock (new) and XR Havering.
