Dear rebels,

Despite a few hiccups, everything went pretty much according to plan, and everyone is fine! 👭🧑🤝🧑 We were about 200 people sitting on the Uraniastrasse at lunch, and going to meet the people of Zurich (well done outreach team!). Young and old, clowns and doctors, families and students. Special mention to the clowns who set the place on fire!

More than 55 people were arrested by the police in this context. As no response has been received from the Federal Council, we will come back tomorrow. Present at the rebellion,e Tiago explains his approach “I am afraid for my future, I am afraid of the climate crisis, and I am much less afraid to be arrested".

From tonight, an online information session will allow you to ask your questions about the rebellion and know how to join us or participate from your home. Everyday at 8:00 pm : click here to log in!

See you on the streets!

Marie and Jamie, for the media and messaging team.

What happened today ?

📣 Kidical Mass

Parents and children from the XR Family group occupied the streets with colorful flags, tricycles and painted pebbles. Drawing on the ground and playing ball, the families occupied Uraniastrasse and showed that it is essential to think about future generations. They are the ones who will suffer the consequences of the climate catastrophe.
