Join thousands coming together around the world to revolutionise democracy.

Organisations in 10 countries (and climbing) have come up with a bold plan to create the people’s revolution for the 21st century: NEXT YEAR!

With a growing number of UK organisations and movements on board, this unifying campaign will bring together anyone and everyone who knows that change is not only necessary, but possible!

Roger Hallam is an environmental activist known for having co-founded ‘Extinction

Rebellion’, ‘Just Stop Oil’, and the cooperative federation organisation ‘Radical

Routes’.

In April 2024, Hallam was given a suspended two-year sentence for attempting to block

Heathrow Airport with drones. In July 2024, Hallam was convicted of conspiracy to

cause a public nuisance for organising protests to block the M25 motorway two years

prior, for which he was sentenced to five years imprisonment. On appeal this sentence

was ruled manifestly excessive and reduced to four years.

In January 2017, in an action to urge Kings College London to divest from fossil

fuels, Hallam and David Durant, using water-soluble chalk-based spray paint, painted

‘Divest from oil and gas, now!’ and ‘Out of time’ on the university's Strand Campus

entrance, and were fined £500. In February, they again spray painted the university's

Great Hall causing a claimed £7000 worth of damage and were arrested.

In May 2019, after a three-day trial at Southwark Crown Court for criminal damage, they

were cleared by a jury of all charges, having argued in their defence that their actions

were a proportionate response to the climate crisis, with Hallam arguing his actions

were lawful under an exemption in the Criminal Damage Act that permits damage if it

protects another's property.
