Celebrities Make Video In Support Of Ayahuasca-Inspired Environmental Group

November 4, 2019

A group of celebrities have made a new video for Extinction Rebellion, the U.K.-based group whose protestors have climbed on top of airplanes and trains in London.

The celebrities featured in the video include Ellie Goulding and Jim Carter. According to Reuters:

“Singer Ellie Goulding, actor Imelda Staunton and model Daisy Lowe were among celebrities demanding that the governments act on climate change in a video campaign launched by Extinction Rebellion on Sunday ahead of Britain’s Dec. 12 general election. … Among the best-known actors to feature in the film is Jim Carter. He played Mr Carson the butler in “Downton Abbey”, a film and television series that won numerous awards for its portrayal of British aristocratic life in the early 20th century.”

Extinction Rebellion was founded by Gail Bradbrook, who cited a psychedelic trip to Costa Rica as inspiration, and Roger Hallam, who was arrested for a plot to fly a drone through the airspace at Heathrow Airport. These are not the first celebrities to back Extinction Rebellion. Earlier this year, more than 100 celebrities admitted they were climate hypocrites in an open letter supporting Extinction Rebellion.
