Fund Me To Protest For Climate Justice

Donation protected
Support Me In The October Rebellion:
I’m Kimwei and I’m The Grand Bard of Exeter - I have taken an oath to the land and the people and I’m asking for your support to go to London this October, to protest to protect our home, the earth. If you believe in me and are willing to support me and the work I'm doing in protesting, please donate here

As a musician and poet, I can bring a lot to a protest. Leading drumming. Singing with a crowd. Performing music and words. If you offer me financial support, I can do more and more. Together we can make governments listen and act to save our future. We need to act now! Thank you for supporting me and for being a part of this journey.

Why Protest For Climate Justice?
I am totally sure that non-violent protest is now the only way to create the change needed. Although I am a Bard, not a scientist, until a few years ago I lived with one of Exeter Met Office’s Expert Climate Scientists, who also worked as Advisor to The Minister to Climate and through her I learned both that we are in a Climate Emergency, that Governments are not doing enough. Protest is the only way forward. Climatologists in my life, Extinction Rebellion, and my wonderful partner, the science communicator Dr. Emily Grossman, all continue to update me on the latest - the crisis is worse than ever. 

Why Do I Need Money?
After performing, drumming and leading drumming in the Extinction Rebellion Spring (XR) demonstrations I discovered that food and tube fares alone can add up to hundreds, as well as other costs*. 
          I'd encourage anyone with the means to support Climate Justice to donate to XR itself here: https://rebellion.earth/donate ... but if you'd specifically like to support ME and the work I'm doing in the protests, it would help me SO MUCH if you would put in some cash to help get me through the October Rebellion (7th-19th) - it would make a huge difference to me.
            I've estimated a figure based on my costs from the Spring Rebellion, earlier this year, but the more you can donate the better equipped I'll be and the better a job I can do. If the target is exceeded I can even provide a little for my band of drummers, where needed.  Thank you for believing in me and trusting me. 

Updates
I will post daily updates from London on facebook so you can follow my story.  

Lots of love warm wishes (but not 1.5C too warm)
