Please note there is a briefing at 9:00am on the day of the action for those taking an active role to make this action successful. We encourage all to attend.

On Saturday September 14th we will be blocking Princes Bridge, Melbourne for the day. This is an act of civil disobedience, to disrupt business as usual, and draw attention to the climate and ecological emergency we are facing and that the government is ignoring - endangering the lives of all of us, and all future generations of life.
