National Climate Rally 13th June 2009 |
website: www.climatecampaign.info |
Time to Walk Our Talk, Folks The National Climate Emergency Rally has been organized to give an opportunity for Australians, appalled by the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) in its current form, to stand up for stronger government action on climate change. 
It has been organized as part of the Countdown to Copenhagen, when the world's governments will meet, in December 2009, to forge critical new global agreements to deal with climate change.
The rally is an initiative of Australia's Climate Action Summit, when over 140 community climate groups came together in Canberra in February 2009 to plan community action on climate change.
There are rallies planned for Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra, Wollongong and Hobart on the same day.
In Sydney, the Rally will begin with speakers and stalls at Barangaroo (The Hungry Mile, Hickson Rd, Millers Point) at 10am. The organizers will have signs and marshals at Wynyard Station to direct us. From 11am, the march will proceed on a route through The Rocks and Circular Quay, finishing outside Kevin Rudd's Sydney office on Phillip St about midday. Wear RED and bring red banners and props, 
Citizens Climate Campaign will be there with our banner and our photographer. Come along and give us some more great action shots for our emails! Hope to see you there! For more information go to the National Climate Rally website. Regards from the Citizens Climate Campaign Committee |
