Manifesto
Climate Rush Bristol is a Bristol based group raising awareness and taking direct action against climate criminals and their allies. We focus on both local and national issues. We are inspired by the deeds of Climate Rush London who provide us with support, advice and encouragement. We stand by their ethos of non-violence.
We do not align ourselves with any one political philosophy but we recognise that inequality and the current global system are major drivers of climate change, and that systemic change is necessary to address our current problems and build a sustainable future.
A Rush is a beautiful, joyful protest. It remains well-mannered and civilised; if it crosses the line of legality, it will always be an individual's choice whether to participate. By thinking creatively we hope to make our actions fun, inclusive and visible. There are many different roles available, allowing you to be as involved as you choose. Those who provide the support for a Rush are as much a part of it as those on the front line.
A Rush takes inspiration from the Suffragettes. Our actions are based on faith that soon a tipping point in public consciousness will be reached and taking action on environmental issues will become as obvious as women being allowed the vote. We adopt the Suffragettes' slogan of “Deeds not words”.
We welcome both women and men taking active roles in Climate Rush Bristol. We are open to your ideas. We are non-judgemental and will value and respect you, regardless of whether you are an avid environmentalist or take the odd short haul flight for a holiday! We welcome your knowledge, your eagerness to learn and your support for our cause.
We are passionate and down right determined to work towards a better world.
