A mass movement calling for climate action is taking place around the world on the 20th of Sept 2019 and concerned locals from Annerley are gathering weeks ahead to plan how this community can make a significant impact on Climate Strike Night.
Would you like to get involved and make a difference? Here’s how you can join and help change the world.
On Wednesday, the 21st of Aug 2019, head to the Activities Room of the Junction Park State School on Waldheim Street at 6:30 p.m. to discuss how Annerley can take action on climate change.
There is an exigent need to convince leaders of Australia to shift to 100 percent clean energy as big business and billionaire companies continue to set out coal, gas and oil projects that increase the carbon footprint. The country is already feeling the heat from the climate crisis with prolonged droughts, catastrophic bushfires, heatwaves, flash flooding and severe cyclones. It’s not just properties at stake but communities, your life and your future.
In March, 1.6 million people took part in the Climate Strike around the world. The goal this September is to step it up.
Climate crisis is a pressing matter but leaders and businessmen act like it’s not an urgent concern. Perhaps the call for action won’t fall on deaf ears if there’s a collective and bigger voice from the community.
This is your chance to be heard and to encourage others to take action. It begins by joining the planning this August to mobilize a bigger group for the worldwide movement in September, which will take place at the Queens Gardens in CBD.
“Preparations are going well, we’ll have soup and hot drinks available from a local cafe owner and operator. We’re excited about the night as we will be engaging with our fellow local community members to promote the Global Climate Strike on September 20,” Tom Cotter, on of the organizers of the Annerley movement, said.
“The Global Climate Strike is a community lead event demanding our government deliver on climate action,” Mr Cotter added. “We’re all proud to support this demand and have hope for the future.”
This is a kid-friendly cause so you’re welcome to bring your children to the meeting. For enquiries and other details email: takotter@gmail.com
