    How many cars do I have to pass before they understand that’s it’s the slowest way to get around in a city? (Not to mention the pollution and the impact on air quality) – at Theatre Royal du Parc

    Il y a des choses pour lesquelles on a besoin d’experts. Représenter le peuple dans toute sa diversité n’en est pas une.

    Our ability to try different actions, get feedback, reflect, learn, rinse, repeat is what’s gonna make us unstoppable. That’s exactly how startups won over well established players. By running plenty of experiments, 90% of which failed, but learn as a community, rinse, repeat.

    Extinction Rebellion admits it has 'serious flaws' and must 'learn from what went wrong' self reflection will help them to grow even better

    Ah qu’il est dur de se retenir de juger sans connaître (probablement lié au fait de croire tout connaître?) demande plus de démocratie à travers la création d’assemblées citoyennes. C’est pas toujours ceux qu’on croit qui partagent des fake news. Be safe out there.

    Il ne manquait plus que le soutien d’Ecolo à un mouvement liberticide, anti-démocratique, anti libéral, anticapitaliste, antivilles, antitravail, anti… (complétez parce que la liste est longue).

    Pas besoin. La police doit arrêter toutes celles et ceux qui font de la désobéissance civile (mais en respectant la loi, pas comme samedi!). Seulement si la cause est juste et suffisamment partagée par la population que les lois finiront par changer. Comme avec Rosa Parks.

    "Sans désobéissance civile, on n'y arrivera pas", c'est ce que disent aussi les mouvements identitaires anti-immigration par exemple. Qui va déterminer quelles sont les bonnes causes pour lesquelles la désobéissance civile est "légitime" ?

    🤦🏻‍♂️ The Europe I love, the Europe I want, is the Europe united in diversity. Not this. That’s why we urgently need citizen assemblies across Europe at every level. That’s the only way all citizens in all their diversity will be properly represented.

    History in the making! Our family; united & determined to re-establish the European dream. With ambition & optimism, we are ready to tackle the EU’s current & future challenges. The citizens of Europe have given us their trust: we will strive to honour it!

    Over 400 citizens were violently dispersed with water canons and pepper spray in Brussels during an protest, then arrested—including our cofounder . We are here to support them and proud that Open Collective is helping the movement!

    Greta, scientists, celebrities, ... more and more people are supporting . You will too. One day. When you’ll be ready. You just don’t know it yet.

    If standing up against the climate and ecological breakdown and for humanity is against the rules then the rules must be broken.

    If standing up against the climate and ecological breakdown and for humanity is against the rules then the rules must be broken.

    Police bans on protests in London is an unlawful constraint of our rights to and peaceful assembly. Protesters' rights must be respected and their calls for urgent heard.

    Shell says it literally can't stop itself from approving 35 new oil and gas projects--we have 'no choice but to invest in oil.' So we have no choice but to try and stop them.

    Il n’y a pas de droit dans un État de droit d’utiliser la force pour arrêter un citoyen qui n’oppose aucune résistance.

    Replying to @henrottevincent
    Il n'y a pas de dialogue à tenir. La police demande aux manifestants de libérer l'espace public. Il n'y a qu'une réaction à avoir : partir. Il n'y a pas de droit dans un État de droit d'occuper des lieux publics sans autorisation.

    This is by far the best explanation of albedo. See why ice in the Arctic is important?

    On the left: my friend Prof. Olivier , former UN Special Rapporteur on the right to food, who joined the nonviolent protest; on the right: a human being using violence to protect the existing system, which threatens the future of his own children...

    Dit is de vervolgfoto. Vergis u niet, er zal nog veel geweld aankomen. Wanneer de overheid openlijk en brutaal zegt "het plan om de planeet van rampen te behoeden, dat behalen we niet", dan volgt alleen maar miserie.

    Dear police, we are not the crisis you have to cool down. Reposition your watercanon. The house we all live in is on fire. You are just trying to shut down the fire alarm. With violence. It doesn’t work that way. Fire alarm will only get louder. 🔥🌎

    Speechless. Extinction Rebellion in Brussels: 313 nonviolent rebels arrested after water canon and pepper spray failed to disperse them. Among those pepper sprayed was a 2 year old.

    Everything is in that picture. The “Declare Climate Emergency” banner, citizens holding peacefully a people assembly and then the police force following the orders of a bankrupt system. The rebellion is just getting started. 🌍🔥⏳ Photo by
