Friends --
To everyone who cares about climate justice for all of us, this is your invitation to join our biggest #ClimateStrike yet on May 15 – hundreds of thousands of Australians standing up to confront the climate crisis when our politicians won’t.
Sign-up for a May 15 #ClimateStrike near you.
We are in the grips of a massive climate crisis but Scott Morrison’s Government is continuing to support massive new coal, oil & gas projects. Destroying lives, health and homes, devastating ecosystems and changing the world as we know it.
The majority of Australians want a Government that will mobilise all of society to tackle this crisis.[1] But our Government isn’t listening to the people, so we need to organise and mobilise like never before to transform our politics. And point it towards climate justice.
We need action which puts the wellbeing of people and our planet first, and action which honours First Nations people who have been caring for country for over 60,000 years. We urgently need Governments who are committed to:
- No new coal, oil and gas, including Adani’s mine
- 100% renewable energy and exports by 2030
- Funding for a just transition and jobs for fossil fuel workers and their communities.
By taking time off school, work and university together, we’ll show our politicians that people everywhere want climate justice and we’re not going away until we get it. We’ll strike in solidarity for everyone who’s already being hurt by the climate crisis and everyone who will be impacted if we don’t act now.
If you thought September 20 was big, let's all think again for May 15.
See you there,
The School Strikers 4 Climate
PPS: Help us spread the word far and wide -- can you forward this email to 5 or more friends?
