Dear rebels,
Red rebels, concerts, die-ins: no doubt, the rebellion has begun! It will be colourful, it will be peaceful and it will last as long as necessary.

Every evening, the media team will let you know about what happened during the day. We are super motivated and probably a little tired. But we’re very excited to keep you updated! So stay tuned, join us and share on your social networks.

→ Here’s the program of the rebellion! 

What happened today

📣 The opening ceremony!

From 11am, more than 350 people gathered in the Zeughaushof for the opening ceremony. Speeches, concerts, training sessions, briefings: it was busy and joyful! You can find our media release here!

🔥 Spectacular die-in at Zurich main station - featuring Red Rebels!
