Organisational Structure of XR

A page for each Working Group (that wants it), explaining what they do.

Introduction to XR Structure

Extinction Rebellion UK is organised as a set of Working Groups. Many of these cover the whole of the UK, and there are some that just cover nations and regions. There are also Local Groups.

The groups are organised using a Self-Organising System (SOS), which defines their relationships and how they are run. For more on SOS, see Self-Organising System on the UK web site and the Building Teams book.

For a list of all the groups and their mandates, look on the Hub. This also shows the relationships between the groups.

The groups are also sometimes called circles.

There is also a public list of all the groups and their mandates on the Organism Diagram. This supersedes GlassFrog which similarly shows the groups, their mandates and their relationships, but is out of date.

This book is a place where any group can create a page with a description of what they do, how to work with them and how to contact them.

If you are planning a page for your group, remember that the Rebel Toolkit is visible to the Internet, so be careful what you include, eg no personal email addresses or Zoom passwords, or links to documents containing such things.

The Rebel Toolkit is intended as a place that ordinary rebels can contribute to, which is relatively easy to update. The main Extinction Rebellion UK web site already contains a lot of more formal information about Working Groups and their work -- a good place to start is https://extinctionrebellion.uk/act-now/resources/.

Digital Team - Contact and Guidance

Do you have a project in mind which has a digital side to it? You are in the right place. This is a page about how and why to get in touch with the Digital Team.

The Digital Discussions Applications Team (DDAT) are part of the Digital team with responsibility for the Hub and a number of other systems. There is more information on the What do DDAT do? page.

Integrated Budget Group

See the book Integrated Budget Group which explains how budgets, money and funding are organised in XR.

It is not the intention to encourage every working group to have its own book on the Rebel Toolkit, as that would be too unwieldy. But now that the Integrated Budget Group has its own book, we have made this page in order to help people to find it.
