Please join the campaign to challenge the highway expansion in Skåne. The more we do the more likely politicians will heed our call to save the planet.

How do we do this? It is a very simple.

Overall approach:

--Join others already involved, spreading flyers, gathering names, planning bike strtikes, managing data, and more. For example select a location to gather names on the E22 paper petition:  set up a small table, post the above signs, and offer materials including the petition.  Do this on a regular basis such as a Saturday or Sunday at a fixed time for 1 to 2 hours. Invite others to join you. Once done enter the signatures online on the right hand side. We are gatheringall over Skåne. It is up to you to help and bring people together to help, friends, neighbors, people you know. Our first goal is 2000 in the Lund area and 1000 in the rest of Skåne. Less demanding, download a paper copy of the petition and ask friends and neighbors to sign or urge folks to go online and sign.

Materials for tabling and outread:

--Upon request to slowclimate@gmail.com, you can receive all the materials you need. The materials can be picked up close to the Lund train station. Materials are also downloadable here.

--Signs downloadable here are formatted in png format as the stop sign and the warning sign. You can also download in jpg format the stop sign and the warning sign. If you request them of us, they will come on A3 sheets. Then paste the signs on a harder background such as cardboard. Hang from your table. We will soon enlarge the signs to A2 size.

--Paper copies of the petition and flyers with qr code can be downloaded too!

Important tips on outreach:

--Approach people directly, do you want to sign our petition urging politicians..

--Offer a flyer to anyone as you ask the question, then add the petition can be signed here.

--Answer honestly what you know or do not know. You do not have to be an expert.

--While the signer is completing the petition, make sure the email and cell phone are legible. And make sure to ask if the signer wants more information from FFF or wants to help on this project or FFF.

--Good background material is found here.

Simple talking points:

--Highway expansion is not in the public interest.

--High expansion leads to more traffic not less. It raises the noise level,  reduces the amount of arable land,  worsens the air, and raises CO2 amounts to deadlier levels.

--We need to invest wisely especially under budget constraints. Highway expansion is an unwise investment and wastes the taxpayers money.

--Above all, the planet needs to reduce CO2 levels by nearly 7 percent a year to fulfill the watered down goal of the Paris Agreement and we are hardly even close to doing that. Highway expansion pushes us further away from achieving the goal.

Your support:

--Your support is crucial. We need help on all fronts. We need volunteers willing to man the tables, to help on the dataside with information input, to write press releases, to help print materials.

--Above all we need you to help with gathering signatures. You can sign up here on the right with any of the times or add your own. Or you can sign up on the googleshare sheet here.

Thank you for all you. Apologies that we write in English but many student supporters speak commonly English.
