About this book

Roger Hallam is one of the co-founders behind Extinction Rebellion and here publishes its manifesto. In Hallam's words "The climate crisis threatens global social collapse. Within a generation. What to do? Common Sense for the 21st Century outlines how movements around the world now need to come together to start doing 'what works'. This means engaging in mass civil disobedience to make real change happen. This book is not just theory, it is the call to action. The political class is not going to save us from extinction. We will be saved by ordinary people breaking the law. This is common sense – only rebellion can save us now."
