Extinction Rebellion Los Angeles members demonstrate at the Santa Monica Pier, Friday, July 26, 2019. XRLA intends to spark and sustain a spirit of collective, creative rebellion which will enable much-needed changes in our political, economic, and social landscape. XRLA works with and beside cells in other U.S. cities and seeks to change the national consciousness to become one based on conservation of our ecosystems. XRLA believes in fostering cooperation within our citizenry to quickly reach the goal of living sustainably within our natural environment as a part of it, not apart from it. We work to transform our society into one that is compassionate, inclusive, kind, sustainable, equitable, and interpersonally connected. Additionally we endeavor to mobilize and train local organizers in LA municipalities outside of the City of LA to work with their local communities to develop, using the XR framework, tools they need to address Los Angeles' deeply rooted problems as they relate to the threats created by global warming.
