What is XR Pathways?
This has always been a difficult question to answer, because it changes from time to time. We're a national affinity group for Extinction Rebellion. Our focus is not to focus on any one thing, but rather go where our strengths are and work towards the common goals of Extinction Rebellion. We're canvassers, arrestees, talented artists, etc, and we aim to make Extinction Rebellion bigger and more accessible. Our first suggestion is always to join local groups and affinity groups in your area before joining a national group like Pathways, however, for more experienced activists, you can be part of both Pathways and your local groups.

Where's today's Daily Rebellion?
The Daily Rebellion is on hiatus for the time being. We've collectively put a lot of effort into the paper, resulting in 180+ beautiful issues. There are other aspects of the movement we're diving into currently. Bringing back the Daily Rebellion isn't outside the realm of possibility, but right now it's not a priority.

How are you funded?
We are funded with small dollar donors, mostly. This pays for stickers and other campaign materials. There are no full or part time staff, so work you see done is done by volunteers. Canvassing on the street is our main strategy for growing the campaign outside social media and actions. People can be really generous when they see you are sincere, and have a plan. We're hoping some more substantial donors step in, so we can hire, and work towards becoming self-sufficient with full time organizers and fundraisers. These campaigns would be similar to Bernie Sanders or PIRG, types of campaigns, with the difference being we are focused on non-violence protests with Extinction Rebellion and #A22Network. If you are interested in being hired as a canvasser, send an email to will at xrpathways.org. Currently there are no paid positions available, but that can change.
