WE ARE IN A CLIMATE EMERGENCY

Life on Earth is in crisis.

Our climate is changing faster than scientists predicted and the stakes are high. Biodiversity loss. Crop failure. Social and ecological collapse. Mass extinction. We are running out of time, and our Government has not only failed to act, but actively invests in projects that will make it worse. There is no economy on a dead planet.

We have a moral duty to rebel.

Our Demands:

1. TELL THE TRUTH

   Government must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change.

2. ACT NOW

   Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.

3. BEYOND POLITICS

   Government must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens’ Assembly on climate and ecological justice.

On March 22 around the country rebels will converge on major economic hubs and disrupt business as usual, day after day in mass actions of civil disobedience. If not you, then who? If not now, then when?

We will be as covid safe and responsible as we can, while we deal with the converging crisis of covid and climate collapse.
