Press Archive
This page contains historical media coverage of the Insure Our Survival campaigns. They are listed chronologically by month.
This archive includes articles reflecting both Insure Our Survival as an stand-alone campaign and as a campaign within Extinction Rebellion. From the beginning, several groups have acted together under this banner.
Creating and updating this list is a large task and therefore a work in progress.
