Tell the Truth
2022, oil on canvas, 100x80
THE CLIMATE AND ECOLOGICAL CRISIS HAS ARRIVED
We need immediate action to avoid unspeakable human suffering and irreversible damage to the natural world.
Governments worldwide are failing to act, consistently refusing to acknowledge the serious and imminent threat posed by this twin crisis.
Without leadership, citizens, corporations and institutions lack direction and purpose in the fight against this climatic and ecological nightmare that worsens with every passing day. This leaves all of us - and the planet we call home - in a desperate and dangerous position.
That is why “Tell the Truth” is the first of Extinction Rebellion’s three core demands.
We demand that governments everywhere tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with the public, businesses and other institutions to communicate this urgent need for change.
