Ten core principles

All are welcome who want to adhere to our principles and values

  1. we have a shared vision of change
    Creating a world that is fit for generations to come.
  2. we set our mission on what is necessary
    Mobilising 3.5% of the population to achieve system change – using ideas such as “Momentum-driven organising” to achieve this.
  3. we need a regenerative culture
    Creating a culture which is healthy, resilient and adaptable.
  4. we openly challenge ourselves and our toxic system
    Leaving our comfort zones to take action for change.
  5. we value reflecting and learning
    Following a cycle of action, reflection, learning, and planning for more action. Learning from other movements and contexts as well as our own experiences.
  6. we welcome everyone and every part of everyone
    Working actively to create safer and more accessible spaces.
  7. we actively mitigate for power
    Breaking down hierarchies of power for more equitable participation.
  8. we avoid blaming and shaming
    We live in a toxic system, but no one individual is to blame.
  9. we are a non-violent network
    Using non-violent strategy and tactics as the most effective way to bring about change.
  10. we are based on autonomy and decentralisation
    We collectively create the structures we need to challenge power. Anyone who follows these core principles and values can take action in the name of Extinction Rebellion.
