Organised life in the USA will not be possible unless the rich are taxed to pay for stopping carbon emissions. Whether this happens or not will be the biggest thing in your life ā for every life ā forever. It’s big, and it’s going to get a lot, lot bigger.
Come to the national US Zoom meet-up on Sunday (1pm New York, 10am Los Angeles) and hear how to stop the madness.
We will hear from a selection of speakers and have state breakout groups to discuss action and organisation. For non-Americans, please share the event with any of your US contacts.
Transcendence or Extinction
If you want to know what I have been up to in prison, then come to my next āFree As A Birdā strategy talk on Oct 20.
What have I been reading? Obscure twentieth-century Catholic theologians and even more obscure Zen Buddhist scholars, all in search of the same perennial truth: we won’t survive whatās coming without a serious dose of transcendence. It takes different cultural forms, but they all help us detach from ego and move toward the sublime plane of loveāwithout attachment to outcomes.
Join the monthly discussion to help find your way into resistance and out of the prisons of perception.
I would love for as many of the 3,000 of you on our list to come alongāthis is a big moment to deepen our resilience in our work. It’s time to get the job done: a revolutionary change in government, economy, and cultureāa new way of seeing.
Don’t think for one moment that 3,000 people cannot change the world. But first, you have to show upāand bring a friend. Itās an hour and a half of your life. Totally worth it. See you then.
š Date: Oct 20th
š Time: 6pm UK, 7pm Central EU, 1pm New York, 10am Los Angeles
š Location: Zoom
A real revolution brings together inner resilience with an outer commitment to social transformationāthe inner and outer work are two sides of the same coin.
So, my being in prison is not a moment to pause or indulge in comforting self-pity. It is time to double down on the plan. We have a world to change; we must have the ultimate ambition. We need to work together in teamsāwe are not alone; we exist for each other.

Burn the Planet and Lock Up the Dissidents
Chris Hedges, the Pulitzer Prizeāwinning journalist, came to the UK to meet Roger in prison. Here he delivers a blistering expose on the fossil fuel industry and the ruthless political class driving us toward climate catastrophe.
Hi, Robin here. I’m Roger’s right-hand man and co-director of Revolution in the 21st Century (Rev21). If you’d like to help our small support team, we’d love your help. With collapse on its way, we need to prepare for a democratic and nonviolent revolution that will keep fascism at bay.
