It’s official - you’re part of a hopeful step forward for the movement to declare a climate emergency in Australia. Yesterday, my heart soared as I stood beside Lord Mayor Clover Moore as City of Sydney declared a climate emergency.

When I started my petition to Scott Morrison, I was in despair. But over 113,000 people have since joined my call to declare a climate emergency. Dozens of people are growing the movement from the ground up by demanding their local council act.

One of those incredible people was Nic Seton from Sydney, who brought together over 3,000 locals to push this movement forward in one of our major cities.

This historic win is just the start - in the last few weeks, we’ve seen Hobart declare a climate emergency. And now the Australian Local Government Association's National General Assembly supported a motion to demand the federal government to declare a climate emergency.

All this news makes it a critical, hopeful moment to build pressure on every level of government - can you share this petition one more time?

And if you haven’t already, find and sign the petition to your local council - or start a pre-filled petition to grow this movement further in your own backyard.

Thank you for all that you’ve done so far, and showing what we can achieve when we work together.
