WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING

The Weekend of Resistance

Brighton rebels joined the Weekend of Resistance in London starting with the occupation of Whitehall outside Downing Street in protest against the cost of living and the climate crisis.

Doctors for XR staged a dramatic presentation of corpses to bring home the impact of the growing climate crisis.

And the young made their feelings clear.


Paint the Streets

The Paint the Streets subvertising campaign that began in London that weekend eventually reached Brighton.


Rebellion Tour Bus

After an interruption to respect the period of national mourning for the late Queen the XR Rebellion Tour bus eventually arrived in Brighton carrying a team of supporters and equipment for a Peoples’ Assembly.

Divest East Sussex


East Sussex County Council invests employees’ pension funds in fossil fuel companies, including those of employees of Brighton&Hove Council. The Divest East Sussex petition will force the council to debate the issue if it reaches 5000 signatories. The number of signatories as at 11th November was 2597. You can access the petition for signing here https://tinyurl.com/affordablegreenenergy


Climate Justice

XRB rebels joined the Brighton Climate Justice March and Rally on November 11th. About 400 attended with samba band and speeches.
