"Where does the power currently lie to shut down industries? "Interview with Extinction Rebellion Mcr

Last summer Extinction Rebellion made headlines around the world for their civil disobedience actions. Occupying areas of major world cities and demanding that we change course now from this ecologically destructive and economically extractive  system to a regenerative and egalitarian model all based on a democratic citizens assembly. From that we've seen climate emergencies declared all around the global but the substantial work is still to be done. This week we are joined by Lizzy Haughton and Joel Stone from Extinction Rebellion Mcr to discuss XR's development from last summer, where the movement has fallen down and how it can  evolve to really attain its goals.Links to the local and UK rebellions this bank holiday weekendhttps://xrmcr.org/Find your local XR group herehttps://xrnorth.org/our-region/Shout outsCampaign against HS2@stophs2Acorn Tenants Union- for there resisting eviction traininng@AcornManchesterGround work GM@GroundworkGMKirkstall Valley Farm@KV_FarmClimate Emergency Manchester@ClimateEmergMcrIf you like the show tell your comrades!Find us on Twitter:@MCRGND_PODInsta: ManchestergndpodFB:MCRGNDPODSupport the show
