Working Groups
The Working Groups below have been set up to oversee, coordinate or organise certain areas of Extinction Rebellion Warwick District. Each group has an internal coordinator who organises the meetings and liaises with the group members, there is also an external coordinator who liaises with and reports back to the main XRWD Coordination Group which meets twice a month. XRWD also have an internal coordinator who liaises between the groups, and an external coordinator who liaises with other groups in Warwickshire and the Midlands.
Anyone can join a working group. You can be involved as much or as little as you want, and no experience is required. Everyone’s ideas are valued. You are also welcome to attend any of the meetings listed below; to find out more, contact the working group coordinator directly or come to one of our Local Group Meetings.

Outreach and Communities
This role is currently being undertaken by the Actions Working Group
This Working Group builds communities within XR Warwick District and beyond. It reaches out to local neighbourhoods to raise awareness of XR and the climate and ecological emergency. By addressing social barriers that stand in the way, it works to make XR truly representative. Communities and Outreach also connects professionals like XR Scientists and XR Police, and Faith Groups like XR Muslims and XR Christians.
