Why resistance?

It is about much more than just wetlands.

Science indicates that we are heading towards a global civilisational collapse and mass extinction, yet politicians are allowing continued destruction to take us to the brink.

Who are we?

We exist because our politicians have long since betrayed all of humanity. It is now up to the people to do what those in power refuse to do - protect life and each other.
We do this by acting peacefully and effectively.

About us

Our vision

We want the people to decide through citizens' councils how to make Sweden a great country that cares for its people.
Through an unprecedented transition, we will achieve a society free of greenhouse gas emissions and toxins, where the world's children can grow up safe and healthy.

Take the chance and support Sweden's most radical climate movement.
We have a plan on how to stop emissions and reach our vision.

Where do we stand?

You are in a revolutionary time

The elite and those in power have forced you into a revolutionary situation. Because if our societies collapse, this century is the last chapter of humanity.

Humanity has reached a tipping point: the odds are against us and we need to do the impossible to save our civilisation and life on Earth from unimaginable suffering and global collapse.

But an act of love is performed no matter what the odds. Because without love, we can neither live nor survive.

Humans have defied the odds before with their will and co-operation - we can do it again. History has shown this, time and time again.

Which side of history do you want to be on?
