Join Extinction Rebellion Northside on Saturday 27 August to cause some Trolley Trouble!

We’ll be creating a disruption using shopping trolleys to demand urgent action on the climate and ecological crisis by highlighting the impacts on our food and water security.  

Climate change is causing severe droughts, heatwaves, catastrophic bushfires, repeated massive floods and changes to weather patterns that are already starting to impact our food supply.

A little disruption of a busy shopping strip on a Saturday morning is minor compared with the disruption that will be caused by climate change. In their recent report on food security, Food Fight, the Australian Security Leaders Climate Group describes climate disruption as an “existential risk to society”. To mitigate this risk, they argue Australia must “prevent devastating climate impacts by mobilising all the resources necessary to reach zero emissions as fast as possible”.

Trolley Trouble will be a low risk action that everyone can participate in. Bring your kids. Bring your grandma. Never been to an Extinction Rebellion action before? This is a great place to start.

What to bring:

• Pots and pans and wooden spoons to help us make some noise!
• Signs and placards highlighting the link between the climate crisis and food shortages and price hikes.
• Your kids, your friends, your neighbours, your uncle, your dentist, everyone!

We acknowledge that we rebel on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nations and that sovereignty was never ceded.

We recognise the spiritual connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have with Country and pay our deepest respects to Elders past and present.

There can be no climate justice without justice for First Nations people. We stand in solidarity with the original inhabitants of this land and understand the importance of listening to and learning from First Nations people.
