Gully is a fiercely outspoken active citizen and community organiser. She has addressed crowds of thousands and rallied people into action on the street, in television and radio interviews, and through her writing.
After internalising the headline “12 years to save the planet” in 2018, Gully left her job as a receptionist to commit herself fully to the Extinction Rebellion experiment – mass civil disobedience to force the government to act. She has spent the six years since dedicating her life to tackling the climate crisis and championing accessible democratic processes.
In 2023, Gully took another leap of faith, moving to East Yorkshire to found a new democratic movement. Cooperation Hull is bringing people into action who are not the ‘usual suspects’, practising how to make the biggest crises of our time relevant to everyday people’s lives. Through countless conversations on the doorstep and in people’s assemblies, as well as the welcome talks she gives across the city telling her story to strangers, Gully has become an expert at communicating a radical vision – for a democratic revolution led by people’s assemblies, and new economic structures built on solidarity, not profit – in simple and inspiring terms.
