CLIMATE EMERGENCY RALLY & HUMAN SIGN

Renewable Energy, not coal power
1pm Saturday
5 July
City Square
Melbourne
  • Public tranport, not new freeways
  • No desalination plant
Followed by march to Alexandra Gardens to form Human Sign

Urgent action needed to stop global warming !
We are calling for Victorians to join the Climate Emergency Rally on July 5. We want to send a wake-up call to state and federal governments that they are heading in the wrong direction. New coal, new freeways and desalination plants increase our use of and reliance on fossil fuels dramatically at a time when we must be cutting our use even more dramatically. We are calling on governments to implement sustainable alternatives to these irresponsible and expensive projects.

We call on all community groups and individuals to join us to send this important message to the government. We are going to form a 140-metre-long human sign to spell the words "Climate Emergency". Please organise your group to send endorsement, tell everyone you know, and come on the day wearing something red to symbolise emergency.
