This Whatsapp group is for Lambeth, Southwark and Wandsworth rebels who want to stay up to date with actions from our local groups and discuss and plan ideas!
Arts
This group is for anyone interested in arts to support our actions and outreach events. It includes banner making, block printing, digital design and any other visual arts. No need to be a professional to join, everyone's help is welcome and needed!
Never used Telegram? Telegram is a messaging app, very similar to WhatsApp. It's used in particular for the larger groups due to the much higher limit on group participants. It also has a polling feature which has proved useful in gauging the general opinion in the group, or in XR speak, conducting 'temperature checks'. You can download Telegram from both the Apple and Android app stores an then use the link to join the group.
