Principle # 4: WE OPENLY CHALLENGE OURSELVES AND THIS TOXIC SYSTEM
Leaving our comfort zones to take action for change.
In this 10 week Empathy Cafe series, we will use the Empathy Circle process to discuss and explore a different Extinction Rebellion Principle each Saturday. We will have an ongoing dialogue about the meaning and application of these principles. Bring your questions, comments, feelings, thoughts, needs and insights. You can share whatever is alive for you.
We will address such questions as:
* How do you live this principle?
* How does this principle support or challenge you?
* How might this principle have a tension with another principle?

Write any questions or comments you have about this XR Principle? I have experienced the aspect of challenging ourselves to be most empowering and key to even recognising most of the structures that oppress us, let alone challenge them. From challenging each individual into taking steps into civil disobedience, to rolling out anti-oppression and decolonising minds training - all is essential in the XR rebel journey. Would like to see it part of onboarding process for everyone and retrospective for all rebels x

Write any questions or comments you have about this XR Principle?
How does one balance “No one person is to blame” with “these evil deeds are ordered by individuals, and they have names and addresses”? Do we exempt the 1% from “no blame, no shame” in other words, while still respecting (somehow) our enemies, those who, for example, are ordering death squads to kill land defenders in Colombia and rangers in the Congo attempting to protect mountain gorillas? And of course lots of evil deeds here on Turtle Island north.
