ABSTRACT
The Red Rebel Brigade is the performative branch of the climate activist organization Extinction Rebellion (XR). Through powerfully affective protests these groups aim to address the catastrophic climate crisis emerging around us, but their work has been critiqued as white-centered and exclusive. This chapter uses choreopolitical methods to analyze these protests as performance to understand what work these protests are doing, what other messages they might convey, and how their work might better align with practices of intersectional climate justice.
