Hi Jenny,
you may be interested in the Gas-action pack that a group of us put together for resourcing local affinity groups. We used your poster design on the cover. Your group of rebels may find it useful.

Hi all, up in Brisbane- Meanjin weโ€™ve been busy with lots of production and street painting! Our arts group were reflecting on progress this week and wanted to touch base nationally to see if there are any plans in the works for next phase/escalation?

It looks as though there will be a nationally coordinated series of local actions in Australia around September
1 when XR UK are blockading their parliament. The theme is โ€œwe want to liveโ€ and the messaging is around four degrees of warming causing billions of deaths.

It would be good to have some coordinated paint the streets action in the lead up to that. More details coming soon. @ManicMax do you have any details?

From XR UK, a new pack of design assets and messaging ideas for the WE WANT TO LIVE campaign and Sept 1 uprisingโ€ฆ lots of good stuff in here.

So whether youโ€™re in a FUCK THIS SHIT kind of mood or a bit more WE WANT TO LIVE, we can be seen to speak as one diverse voice.

I think Iโ€™d be interesting to have PTS murals/posters that invite the public to interact. Am thinking along the lines of the #DickWings pieces that Scott Marsh has put together. The work has zero instruction yet people stand between the wings, snap a photo and share it on socials tagged with #DickWings.

Possible ideas:

  • Holding up the earth
  • Extinction or Rebellion? (with human outline under each choice)

Chris thereโ€™s a great โ€˜HOW TOโ€™ Murals from the UK that can be downloaded here;https://mega.nz/file/nAMRQA7D#qGDy9T6M_l1LQt_ixYlhHWuP5Fo5kAfy6uw1zZnA8_8

A great billboard action

Santos has been running these ads on the homepage of the NT News (itโ€™s election time in the NT). Good material for culture jamming with stickers, meme generators, fake billboards, etc.

Thatโ€™s a bit repulsive those adsโ€ฆ what a silly world where people can believe - or be paid to believe , or tricked through advertising or money to believe that Australian Gas is good gas
