Rob Callender- From XR to Kin Cooperative

Rob Callender is a real gem.

We talk about the shifting landscape of activism and how we need to, and do adapt, and what we need to do to take back power!

We delve in to the left politics of today, with The Green Party and Your Party, each one playing their part.

Growing up in privilege in Hong Kong, being sent to boarding school and defying expectations by becoming an actor, Rob has consciously chosen his path.

Through movement building with Extinction Rebellion, Rob became aware of the injustice in our financial system, leading to the creation of Kin Cooperative https://kin.coop/.

Rob shares the practicalities and benefits of becoming a member of Kin Coop, describing it as a savings club platform, allowing communities to save money together and grow as one.
