WHAT A DAY OF STIKE ACTION ✊️
500,000 workers on strike today!
Many rebels across the South West have been out on the picket lines and out in support of the strike action.
When a government brings a country to its knees, and 500,000 workers walk out to demand fair working conditions and fair pay instead of sorting their mess out they try to make strike action illegal‼️
#SupportStrikes
#RightToStrike
#tradeunion
The climate crisis, the ecological crisis, the state of our waterways, the EU environmental laws about to be scrapped, the cost of living crisis, the NHS crisis, the attack on human rights and workers rights, the refugee crisis and the crisis across multiple workforces as corporate greed fuels poverty, ecosystem collapse and a bonfire of our rights, at the expense of people and planet. So much to protest about - let's all #unitetosurvive and go to Parliament on 21st April - #EnoughIsEnough - the government must act.
Great action by Greenpeace UK - well done those brave activists! #EndFossilFuels
Are you a seasoned local group rebel who would like to share their experience and knowledge with others to help get as many people as possible to London on 21st April? Are you passionate about empowering people so our movement can keep growing and gaining strength? Then you should apply to become a Gardener! Gardeners liaise with local groups in their region/nation to provide them with resources, advice, and training. People like the gardeners whose exclusive focus is to support local groups are an essential part of many other successful movements. There are four county gardener roles available in the South West, one person could combine them if desired. You can apply here: volunteer.extinctionrebellion.uk/roles
