This is a fundraiser for the members of Extinction Rebellion Nottingham arrested in London during April's International Rebellion.

Over 1100 people were arrested for non-violent direct action and a number of Nottingham members (12, by our current count) were among them. We who were arrested during this rebellion did not take any action lightly or frivolously - we acted in the solemn knowledge that we are running out of both time and options.

This rebellion has already helped to push the climate and ecological emergency onto the political and social agenda, changing the media conversation around the climate and ecological crisis and prompting Parliament - and scores of councils and local authorities - to declare a climate emergency in the weeks that followed.

As legal proceedings begin against us we are raising a fund to cover any costs arising from the legal process. We come from different walks of life and while some can afford to pay their own legal costs, others need the additional financial support.

This is why we need your help and generosity. We are aiming to raise up to £20,000 to cover any costs arising from the legal process. Any excess funds raised will be used for future legal costs which may be incurred by members of Extinction Rebellion Nottingham.

Please give what you can, if you can, and share widely if not.

Thank you for supporting the rebellion.

Love and gratitude

Extinction Rebellion Nottingham
