Empower, upskill, engage and recruit others by delivering short on-the-ground talks. We need a huge number of Street Speakers for all XRUK actions and events to share the love!
There are always lots of new people who need training as well as those who need refreshers - particularly in Nonviolent Direct Action and Know Your Rights training.
XR street talks have been designed for anyone to deliver without the need for training. However, we hold support workshops to help build your confidence, where to find the street talks and find a street buddy. Please email to request a workshop.
If you want to find out more, everything you need is on the Rebel Toolkit in the Street Speakers book including the Street Speakers Guidance doc and the scripts:
Check out Rebel Toolkit - Street Speakers.
If you have any questions, please: email XR Outreach
