Sweden in Transition #24 - Elvin Landaeus Csizmadia, Extinction Rebellion Activist

Extinction Rebellion (also known as XR) was born in 2018 in the UK and today claims 100,000 members across 60 countries. This collective defends a radical change in our environmental policies and advocates civil disobedience & non-violence. Occupations of places, blockades with human chains, art performances, and no resistance in case of arrest.

Elvin is 21 years old and tells how he became an activist, his vision for the future and how XR is building on historic legacies (Civil Rights Movement, Gandhi, the Suffragettes) as well as social science. He also explains the logic of civil disobedience, and how disruption is forcing friction and debate in society.
