Rebellion, Activism, and Building Alternatives: A Conversation with Dr.Gail Bradbrook

"We must upgrade democracy, create citizens’ assemblies, and assert economic power to change the system" In this episode we sit down with Dr. Gail Bradbrook, co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, to discuss her path from a coal miner's daughter to a leading activist challenging systemic structures. Gail shares her belief that "the current economic system is inherently anti-life" and calls for a deeper transformation: "We must upgrade democracy, create citizens’ assemblies, and assert economic power to change the system." Listen in as she describes her journey, the challenges of building alternative systems, and why civil disobedience is essential for climate action: "It is the duty of a thinking citizen to rebel against governments and corporations when life on Earth is at stake."
