>> SO JUST TELL US WHAT IS

EXTINCTION REBELLION.

IT IS NOT THE POINT AS WE

UNDERSTAND THE POINT.

BUT THE SORT OF STRUCTURE BY

WHICH YOU WANT TO DEMAND CHANGE.

>> I THINK IT FORMS OF EVERY DAY

TEACHERS AND PARENTS.

IT'S QUITE YOUNG, ABOUT EIGHT

MONTHS AGO.

DIRECT ACTION IS THE WAY TO MAKE

CHANGE.

THE CHANGE IS NECESSARY.

THEY WANT THE GOVERNMENTS TO

DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.

THEY WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO TELL

THE TRUTH AND ACHIEVE

ADMISSIONS.

AND IT'S THE MOST EXCITING THING

I'VE SEEN IN MY LIFE.

>> YOU DID GET ARRESTED.

I MEAN, YOU BASICALLY DID GET

ARRESTED BRIEFLY.

YOU GLUED YOUR HANDS, I THINK,

TO WHAT?

TELL ME.

>> I WAS ARRESTED FOR GLUING MY

HANDS TO THE FRONT DOOR.

I WAS ARRESTED ALONGSIDE ANOTHER

ACTIVIST.

AND, YEAH, I DEFINITELY DIDN'T

INTEND TO BE ARRESTED THAT DAY.

I WAS THERE TO SUPPORT THE

PROTEST.

BUT IT JUST SO HAPPENED I WAS

ARRESTED AND I'M NOT FACING A

CRIMINAL RECORD AND I'VE LOST

JOBS AS A RESULT OF IT.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED.

>> SO THAT'S INTERESTING BECAUSE

IT HAS THESE DIRE CONSEQUENCES.

FOR A YOUNG MAN SUCH AS YOURSELF

TO SAY YOU LOST A JOB BECAUSE OF

IT, THE POINT THOUGH IS CIVIL

DISOBEDIENCE THAT DOES LEAD TO

THESE ARRESTS.

WHETHER YOU LOOK BACK AT THE

CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT IN THE

UNITED STATES, ALL THESE PLACES

WHERE YOU'RE DRAWING

INSPIRATION.

>> RIGHT.

>> ARRESTED KIND OF --

>> HE'S ONE OF THE CO-FOUNDERS

OF IT.

AND HE STUDIED SOCIAL MOVEMENT.

IT'S HIS BELIEF THAT ARRESTS ARE

THE SINGLE BEST WAY TO TAKE

ACTION TO MAKE THE GOVERNMENT

MAKE CHANGE.

THIS WEEK WE HAVE SEEN 700

ARRESTS.

AND IT'S HAVING AN IMPACT, YOU

KNOW.

I THINK THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE

WHO PUT THEMSELVES ON THE LINE

AND THEIR FREEDOM ON THE LINE.

I THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE SO

DESPERATE FOR CHANGE AND SCARED

ABOUT THE SEVERITY OF THE

SITUATION WE'RE IN, THEY FEEL

THIS IS THE ONLY ACTION THEY CAN

TAKE.
