MOTHERS* REBELLION

FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE

We are mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters, daughters and allies around the world. We know that those least responsible for the climate crisis are also the most impacted. We believe in the power of mothers and caregivers to demand climate justice.

OUR 6th GLOBAL PROTEST


Mothers* Rebellion's sixth global protest took place on Saturday 21st September, coinciding with the UN Summit of the Future in New York, and the first ever Global Week of Action for Peace and Climate Justice. Mothers* and allies across the globe gathered in circles once again to demand swift climate action for the future of all our kids. This time we will focused on the links between war, militarism and climate injustice to stress the crucial and urgent need to divest from war and invest in just climate solutions!

SUPPORT YOUR FELLOW MOTHERS* IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH


The burden of climate change is universal but taking the time to organize and protest is not an equal opportunity. We urgently need your support to lift the voices of mothers across villages, towns, cities and countries of the Global South. 

KNITTING FOR CLIMATE


On April 21st, more than 1.500 rebel mothers in Sweden encircled Swedish Parliament with a 4.2 km long knitted scarf. The date marked Overshoot Day, the day when Sweden's renewable resources for the year had been used up. The scarf - a symbolic call to Sweden's politicians to act on the climate crisis - was made up of pieces knitted by women all over the country in an amazing, engaging collaboration. The "Knitting Project" was inspired by rebel mothers in Norway and M*R hopes that it will be picked up in more countries. Visit the project's website for more information.

WHAT IS MOTHERS* REBELLION?

Mothers* Rebellion is a movement of women in a growing global community on six continents. We will not give up the fight for a sustainable present and future for the current and coming generations. We want to be able to look our children into the eyes and say that we truly do all that we can. We turn our grief and frustration over the lack of a powerful, transformative response from our politicians and leaders into action. Learn more

OUR METHOD: "THE CIRCLE"

The method we use in our demonstrations is simple. It is a circle of mothers* sitting down together in a public space, for example in a pedestrian street, a public park or outside a government building. We sit peacefully facing the passers-by, helping ourselves and others to connect with our climate emotions. We often hold signs with the names of our children or other messages related to the climate crisis. Our message is that we refuse to look away, that we refuse to give up and that we will do everything we can for the lives and future of our children. Learn more
