A week of demonstrations, direct actions and public meetings.
80 years after the birth of the Republic, its founding principles — equality, work, rights and protection of the land — are under attack. While conflicts over resource grabbing multiply across the world and the effects of the climate crisis worsen, national and international policies continue to support polluting energy sources, devastate territories without involving communities, concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few super-rich individuals, and increasingly restrict dissent and democratic participation.
Defending the Earth today means defending democracy. For this reason, Extinction Rebellion is launching a new Spring mobilisation week, from 29 May to 3 June, on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Italian Republic, to converge on the capital and reopen spaces for real participation, imagining and practising a fairer society founded on care, climate justice and social justice.
See you in Rome, from 29 May to 3 June, for PrimaVera Democrazia.

USEFUL INFORMATION
All the information needed to participate in the PrimaVera Democrazia week will be sent via Signal, a secure and completely free messaging app.
For this reason we ask all interested people to:
- download Signal
- create an account linked to their phone number
- set a username
This way we will be able to contact you simply and securely.
1. Download Signal
You can download Signal here:
Android |
iPhone |
Other devices
Once you have downloaded the app, follow the instructions to create your account. If you have difficulties, you can consult the official Signal installation guide.
2. Set a username
After creating your account, set a username by following these steps:
Open Signal → tap your profile icon at the top left → Settings → tap your profile (first section at the top) → tap the @ symbol → enter a username
The final number will be added automatically.
If you need help, you can also consult the official Signal guide on usernames, which explains clearly how they work.
Yes. Signal is the channel we will use for all organisational communications related to the PrimaVera Democrazia week.
We chose this app because it is free, easy to use and offers greater security guarantees. For this reason, we ask all participating people to download it, create an account and set a username.
Yes, Signal is completely free to download and use.
Yes. Signal is simple to install and use, even for those who have never used it before. Once you have downloaded the app and created an account, you will be ready to receive all the necessary communications.
Yes. To create an account, Signal requires a phone number. However, once you have set a username, other people will be able to contact you without you having to share your number.
Not necessarily. If you set a username, people will be able to find and contact you through that, without having to see your phone number.
The profile name is the name that appears in the app.
The username, on the other hand, is the unique identifier that allows other people to find you without using your phone number. It has this format: @name.number
The initial part is chosen by you, while the final number is assigned automatically.
The username is therefore different from the profile name that appears in the app.
You can consult the official Signal guide on usernames.
If you still have difficulties, you can enter only your phone number in the field dedicated to the Signal username. We will contact you to help you.
