Communion with the Red Rebels

Linda Richardson was active in the Green Party when she first encountered the Red Rebels in London.

“They first appeared with Extinction Rebellion in spring,” she says. “Everybody was a bit bamboozled by them, while being struck by their presence, their slowness, peaceableness and expressiveness.

“I heard a suggestion by Sophie Berridge, who was a Red Rebel in London, and she and others came to my house and we made some outfits together, so that’s how it started, in early summer.”
