 November 13th, Extinction Rebellion speakers will address “The Coming 
 Extinction and What to do about it.”\n\nFounded by youth in Britain in 
 2018, Extinction Rebellion is a global movement that uses non-violent civil 
 disobedience in an attempt to halt mass extinction and minimize the risk of 
 social collapse. It has spread like wildfire across the globe—our local 
 chapter XR SF Bay is aimed at nothing less than radical system change. Our 
 rebellion is fueled by our love for humanity and for all life on earth. 
 Come for some truth-telling about our climate emergency and to learn how XR 
 SF Bay is in solidarity with local organizations to affect the necessary 
 change in our world- and how you might support or join us! \n\nMembers, 
 Chris Conrad and Diana Strong from XR SF Bay will talk about why they 
 joined Extinction Rebellion, and XR member Molly Arthur will give a 
 presentation of her story of being called to be an XRebel as a journey of 
 awakening and “going public.” The presentation will include more 
 details on the history of XR and the work we are doing in the Bay Area. 
 \n\nChris Conrad is a rising senior at Haverford College, majoring in 
 political science. After being exposed to XR UK in London while studying 
 abroad, he realized the scale of the threat posed by the climate crisis and 
 joined XR to help make a difference. He plans to write his senior thesis on 
 the emergent climate movement, and enjoys spending time in nature in his 
 free time.\n\nDiana Strong is an accomplished music performer, composer and 
 instructor. Her musical background is grounded in classical piano along 
 with a lifetime of folk music camps. She teaches accordion and piano in the 
 East Bay. She has supported XR SF Bay with her unique skills and heart and 
 brings her perspective as a young musician to her work. \n\nMolly 
 McGettigan Arthur- In looking for the roots of our current desperate times, 
 Molly learned that the last six generations of her ancestors were 
 implemental in their creation. The intimate and current collusion she has 
 with white supremacy and how embedded she is in the societal structures of 
 racism and white privilege are foundational understandings for her. She is 
 endeavoring to address the current effects of these parts of her lineage by 
 launching her Waking Up to Our Own History, Lineage and Legacy Initiative.
