“Anyone who believes in infinite growth on a finite planet is either a madman or an economist.”
David Attenborough
What is Money Rebellion?
Money Rebellion is a group of activists, economists, financial experts, bankers and others, who, through direct action, campaigning, and sharing expertise, seek to expose the root causes of our climate emergency: the financial systems dependent on endless growth, and the greedy and powerful who continue to profit from the status quo.
With our knowledge and passion we carefully target those responsible, and work to highlight alternative models and systems that can safeguard the future for us all.
As activists we target the problem, and posit expert-driven solutions.
The economic status quo:
- The very richest are getting richer, while people in the UK – and globally – are suffering a worsening cost of living crisis.
- Oil and other polluting companies continue to announce record breaking profits, lobby governments to reduce regulation, invest in fossil fuel expansion, and use their PR budgets to lie to consumers.
- Racism and exploitation of poorer nations is still rife.
- Most of our ‘free’ press is captive to the will of a few billionaires.
- Profits and growth remain the markers of how we measure ‘success’, even as people starve and the world burns.
- Meanwhile… The climate and ecological emergency gets worse every day.
Why Money Rebellion?
Our economic system determines the course of our lives
Its rules govern everything that matters to us – but this system iswilling to sacrifice our health, climate and natural world to favour the fortunes of the few.
The system is killing us
It cannot protect us from the crises to come, because its structure causes and ignores them. Our marker for progress – GDP growth – counts the short-term profits from burning oil and felling forests, but not the long-term dangers to our survival, leading us further into climate and ecological breakdown.
Break the rules
Money Rebellion is a call to expose and disrupt the economic rules and institutions driving us toward societal collapse: growth, debt, banks, the government… Find out why and how to disrupt these ideas, institutions, and more in our first wave of actions.
GET INVOLVED – WHAT YOU CAN DO
Nonviolent Direct Action
Through various forms of civil disobedience we are looking for more volunteers to join us in our campaigns that target the likes of Barclays, HSBC, Standard Chartered, and fund managers like Vanguard and Blackrock, all of whom are funding Climate breakdown. Lloyds of London insures 40% of the globe’s fossil fuel projects.
Join Money Rebellion so together we can transform the system and stop the flow of money the fossil fuel industry needs to survive. Please visit our social media and contact us. We’re looking for any volunteers, whether you have financial and economic experience or not to help us.
Our ongoing aim, for which we need your help:
Banks, the stock market, and other unelected financial institutions make huge decisions for us and for the planet, with little to no accountability. We need new rulemakers that allow life on Earth to thrive. We’ll disrupt key economic institutions with a wide range of non-violent tactics.
