Upcoming Extinction Rebellion events

The WildEarth Climate Action Team has quite a few crossover members with Extinction Rebellion's Austin chapter, and we often host their events at Wildflower Church. They are one of our "sponsored organizations." So in that light, here is some information about events in September:
  • Sunday 9/15 -noon.  Art Jam  at  Roots Ecovillage, 7103 Circle S Road. 
  • Sunday 9/15 4-6 pm Presentation and Discussion: Climate Change Action, Austin History Center.
  • Monday 9/16 -Meditation Mob at South Lamar Pedestrian Bridge 7pm to 8pm 
    • https://www.facebook.com/events/1117032451825383/
      A meditation mob is similar to a flash mob, where people come together and do an action simultaneously together. Our action will be sitting together at the South Lamar pedestrian bridge and meditating on a better world and future.   . . . 
      We are all connected on this planet. Our actions reverberate across the globe. Our planet is alive and we need to reconnect to this living planet if we are going to survive. In meditating together we hope to embrace our empathy for all living things, to come together in love and peace in a world that is incredibly chaotic. You are not alone.
  • 9/20/19  XRaustin supports the Austin Climate Strike, part of the Global Youth Strike.  This event calls for adults to also strike for climate, all over Austin.
