### The Resources to Support Extinction Rebellion
#### A place to share the valuable work of all XR Rebels!
This place is for any Rebel to share their own original work
We hope using this space will connect rebels from all around the UK
and demonstrate their creativity - without the need of additional approval
_**Please help yourself to any of the resources**, they are all freely available_
To find out how to add new resources, go to the Shelf called [**Using This Toolkit**](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/shelves/10-using-this-toolkit)
**NB** A few items here are curated by the [**UK Communities Circle**](mailto:xrcommunities@gmail.com) they have this icon [.png)](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/uploads/images/gallery/2020-12/shield-icon-16.png)

### How it's organised
The organisation of this toolkit is like a library, with **[Shelves](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/shelves)**, **[Books](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/books)** , **Chapters** and **Pages**
Using the **Search box** above will search all of them
**Quick start** - go to the top of any page and select - **[Shelves](https://rebeltoolkit.extinctionrebellion.uk/shelves)** and sort by "Name"
