‘It’s time’ announces the back cover of the new Extinction Rebellion (XR) Handbook, ‘act now before it’s too late.’ THIS IS NOT A DRILL released last week is a manual on how to live a rebel life in the fight for the planet. In the face of the global climate and ecological emergency humanity faces XR is making it impossible to continue to advert our eyes from the crisis.
Brixton-based designers This Ain’t Rock’n’Roll designed the book which is already a best seller available from local bookshops.
Following April’s protests in London in which XR shut down Oxford Circus, Waterloo Bridge, Piccadilly Circus, Marble Arch and Parliament Square over a ten-day period, the handbook is a manual to execute acts of mass civil disobedience. Designed to be read, referred back to and used as a guide to live consciously, the handbook is split into two sections: the first ‘Telling the Truth’ covers the severity of the climate crisis. While the second section ‘Act Now’ is concerned with action and is filled with practical instructions on what to do and how.
