You might be interested in what Extinction Rebellion is doing. If they're organizing in your area already, I strongly recommend you go see their "Heading for Extinction" talk in person, but their website covers it pretty well too. Their basic idea is 1) yes we are barreling towards extinction of humans and many other species, 2) nothing anyone has done so far has prevented this acceleration, and 3) non-violent direct action (aka civil disobedience) has the best chance of affecting the quick and drastic changes needed to avert the worst effects of the climate crisis.
