We strongly believe that scientists should not limit themselves to only writing papers and presenting at conferences in front of other scientists. Especially when politicians and other societal actors ignore the climate and ecological crisis, scientists must let their voices be heard widely and loudly. As scientists we are educated and trained to create and disseminate knowledge as well as to judge the work of other scientists, all with the ultimate goal of improving the world. The climate and ecological crises affect every aspect of society and we need knowledge from all fields to stop it, therefore scientists from all fields should unite to stand up for climate justice. Scientists are among the most trusted groups in society,[1]<\/a> so when scientists join the climate movement, they lend it their credibility.[2]<\/a>,[3]<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n As scientists we have the privilege to know, and this comes with a responsibility, a duty to act.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you relate to our demands and core values<\/a>, there are many ways to get involved with Scientist Rebellion. Beyond participating in actions, our movement is also a vibrant community where like-minded people connect, exchange ideas, and collaborate\u2014both within and beyond their universities. Some contribute by organizing behind the scenes in one of our many groups, while others take part in actions. Even if you don\u2019t want to or cannot engage in civil disobedience, you can still play a vital role by helping to organize, joining protests without direct action, writing letters or op-eds, or participating in book clubs or discussions where we envision sustainable and equitable futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Online Introduction Meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in joining our movement, or just want to know more about our climate activism, join one of our online Introduction Meetings<\/a>. These meetings are also a good place to get to know future fellow rebels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Non-violent direct action training<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to know more about civil disobedience action to potentially join us on the streets?
