XR Dacorum

Extinction Rebellion

Notes from our meeting on 7th April 2021

CEE Bill – Installation  

Over Easter weekend, unmanned, this drew very few new signatures for the petition, so we decided to use it again on the high street, with a paper petition and hand gel, and Rebels to explain to curious passers-by. 21st April, 11 -3 was agreed, overlooking that Wednesday is market day, so we will check out the feasibility next Wed. Could rehang G’s banner at the same time.

CEE Bill – banners

G’s made it into the national top 10! Sue’s needs repairing – K offered to add fabric and eyelets to make it reusable on the A41 bridge, but accompanied. Maybe a picnic! S to get banner to K.

Asking election candidates to back the bill

S to forward email from CEE Bill Alliance to M. Who Can I Vote For? will give you all the candidates to contact.

Bank actions

Checking Trustpilot, S discovered that Barclays’ rating is already BAD so leaving reviews seems unnecessary. We expressed respect for the 7 women arrested outside Barclays HQ. One of us carried out an early morning action in solidarity. G has a plan for the future.

We discussed the building industry – a subject to return to.

M shared news from XR Tring including ‘soft’ actions like plant swaps and litter picking. G did some litter picking in Berko recently – bravo!
