Navigating the Future with Extinction Rebellion — Clare Farrell

Clare Farrell is a founding member of Extinction Rebellion. She’s an activist, artist, designer, communicator and organiser. In the Adam McKay movie Don’t Look Up, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence go on television to raise the alarm about an asteroid on a collision course with Earth, only to be met by the banal absurdity of how mainstream news works. Well, Clare Farrell has that role in real life. Appearing on TV to speak on behalf of this XR movement. A surreal experience to find yourself in. We discuss their demands for net zero carbon emissions by 2025, citizens assemblies and direct democracy, and reparatory justice for nations and people around the world most impacted by the climate crisis.
