Quakers up and down the country are planning to take part in Extinction Rebellion (XR)’s planned days of witness for climate action this month. Titled ‘The Big One’, and running from 21 to 24 April in Westminster, organisers aim to attract around 100,000 people to call for urgent action on the climate emergency and to demonstrate to the government that public opinion backs meaningful action.
