… and if you’re in Invercargill, get along to the Spring Eco Festival!
Whatever the outcome of Saturday’s General Election, urgent action will still be needed to halt and reverse the growth in greenhouse gas emissions and sharply reduce the risk of runaway climate change.
As part of a global Day of Action on climate change organised by Avaaz, there will be a People’s Climate March on Sunday 21 September in Auckland and in Nelson. Coal Action Network Aotearoa’s Jeanette Fitzsimons will be among the speakers at the Auckland event. If you can join either of these marches, we encourage you to do so – because the challenge of climate change has to be faced by all of us, including the incoming Government.
People’s Climate March Auckland
All climate change concerned citizens are invited to meet at Britomart on Sunday 21st September at 1pm to march up Queen Street to Aotea Square where there will be inspiring speakers and performers until 4pm including Lucy Lawless, Jeanette Fitzsimons, Laura O’Connell-Rapira, Steve Abel, musician SDJ and DJ Isaac Aesili to name a few!
The march is supported by Avaaz, a 38 million member strong global online civic movement that promotes activism on many pressing issues including climate change.  Auckland’s March is the FIRST of a huge, million people strong global movement of similar marches happening in more than 88 countries around world on the same day. From the photos and footage of these marches, Avaaz will create a presentation to show the UN Climate Change Summit delegates during a 15 minute time slot at the Summit in New York City. The Auckland People’s Climate March will also make it clear to Aotearoa’s own leaders how deeply we care climate change and the impacts of climate change on our Earth.
Please join ‘The People’ on Sunday 21st September to lend your voice to help ‘close the gap between the world we have and the world most people, everywhere, want’ (Avaaz, 2014).
