How do subscribers join the email list

UK List

Pointing people to the UK sign up for news box is the very simplest way to get someone on to Action Network. This is the green box at the bottom of every page on the website. To link directly to it use joinxr.uk which is a short link that points to https://extinctionrebellion.uk/#sign-up-form

Local Groups

This map is a list of all known XR groups in the UK. Some have Action Network email lists. When you click on the place and click 'sign up for news' you will be subscribed to that local group (if they have an Action Network list). If they don't have a list, then the subscription defaults to the nation/region.

Local Groups can now have a dedicated shortlink in the style of joinxr.uk/localgroupname - see

All subscriptions cascade 'up' the geographical list structure i.e. if you sign up to Birmingham, you will also be signed up to Midlands and UK lists. Plus there is a 'ladder' (which is a bit of code), in operation that then picks up this new subscriber and adds them to the monthly Global Newsletter list.

Note : not all groups with a pin on this map have an Action Network email list (update Nov 2022 - there is a project running to make sure if a group has a pin they also have their own list). If they don't the sign up form defaults to signing a new rebel up to the regional list. Find out if your group has a list already by contacting the data team reception or if you aren't on mattermost, then email tech@rebellion.earth
