INSURE OUR FUTURE - TIME TO REFLECT

XR is all about reflecting and learning which is why debriefing is such an important part of the actions cycle, especially after a big week of action such as Insure Our Future.

🧘 Reflect
We recommend arranging a group session to share experiences and get inspired for what’s next. In the debrief we encourage:
🔸 A celebration of achievements
🔸 The sharing of different views
🔸 An understanding of one’s own emotions
🔸 Active listening
🔸 An evaluation of the action

📈 Evaluate
Actions Circle would be grateful if you could share your reflections with us, to take forward into future planning:
XR-action@protonmail.com

🌳 Grow
Growth is an important part of all life and it’s important that we record, revisit and use our learnings to improve for next time.

XRUK Actions Team

INSURE OUR FUTUREWhat a week!A heartfelt thank you to the thousands of people who took part across the UK and around the world, on the streets or at home.

Together, we have left an indelible mark on the insurance industry. We answered the call from Insure our Future to put maximum pressure on insurers with vitality, focus and love.

Whenever you see an insurer change course, take heart that you have helped turn a crucial supertanker. Whatever they choose, you've played a part in protecting your loved ones and Nature.

If you missed out and feel inspired, we hope you can pick up the torch and keep the pressure up on the insurers.

Once you have rested let’s return to take action; be it with fossil fuels, insurance, or another organisation that moves the needle on the future’s survivability.

Finally, we send gratitude to all those who have organised to give us this opportunity to fight for what we love. You are the best of humanity today.

INSURE OUR FUTURE - GLOBAL ROUNDUP
🚲 From bike rides in Bangladesh, to occupations in Houston and murals in Uganda - this week has seen the full scope of creativity, passion and global solidarity.

💫 105 actions took place across the world, in 31 different countries on 5 continents.

💥 There were an incredible 476,000 individual digital actions taken, including phone calls, emails, petition signings, Google reviews and LinkedIn comments.

🙏 To everyone who took action this week - thank you. We ramped up pressure on the insurance industry, as well as standing in solidarity with groups who often feel isolated fighting powerful fossil fuel interests.
