Rebels, we salute you !!
We face an existential threat from climate change and species extinction. Time is running out for us to halt the decline we are all witness to. Join us!
Our vision is that Rebels can travel down to the Rebellion together - picking up Rebels across the country, networking, continuing old & new conversations, building momentum, community, and comradery - whilst en-route to the single largest focus of civil disobedience in support of our Earth that the UK has ever seen.
To get all of you wonderful Rebels to London to join with your comrades we have organised coaches from all points on the compass, stopping at key locations and scheduled to arrive in London late-afternoon on Sunday 6th October. Do not despair if your coach is full. Extra coaches will be booked as existing ones fill.
Ticket pricing:
To allow all of those intending to travel to the Rebellion to book tickets with simplicity we have created journeys within Ticket Tailor for all of the planned routes. These journeys have been subsidised by XR to soften the impact of the expense, and tickets are in 3 tiers to acknowledge varying budgets - Low-Income, Waged & Solidarity.
If you can afford it, please consider buying a waged or solidarity ticket. The more money we can recoup, the more coaches we can book and the more rebels there will be in London!
Please also consider that a significant amount of XR’s communities budget is being used to book these coaches and any money we make back will be crucial to helping local groups thrive and make our movement grow.
A number of tickets have been reserved for migrants and asylum seekers who may not have the means to travel but would like to participate in the Rebellion. If you are not a migrant or asylum seeker, please do not try and claim one of these tickets. If they are not claimed they will be re-released for general use.
To enable us to maximise our capacity to deliver the required coaches it’s important that you book your ticket(s) on the coach as soon as you know that you’re able to join us. If you discover that your route is fully booked please contact xrcoachteam@protonmail.com, giving an indication of the number of additional seats required if you have that information available.
**Accommodation**
To keep our occupation going for Rebellion Week and beyond, we need as many rebels as possible to camp out.
We are intending to occupy our street-party locations until the Government heed our cry of Rebellion. So come with your camping gear, and join the hundreds of Earth Marchers and cyclists who will have been camping on their way to London. Bring tents, sleeping bags, ground-mats, headtorch, waterproofs,umbrellas, toilet roll & other camping essentials. Large bags of food and instruments are also very welcome. Please consider reading through this guide:

If you can't camp, please ask London-based friends if they can host you. *Even if you are planning to camp, it's a good idea to arrange back-up accommodation.*
If you are unable to camp and don't have contacts in London, we can help organise accommodation.
Please complete this form by September 30th: http://tinyurl.com/XRrebelhosting to allow us to help you find a London based XR Rebel Host.
