Extinction Rebellion Exeter is hosting a community talk about the climate crisis and how to tackle it on Friday 31 March at Exeter Community Centre.

The campaign is focussed on a gathering of 100,000 people in Parliament Square on 21 to 24 April – an event Extinction Rebellion is describing as “The Big One”.
