Brisbane, QLD: #ClimateActionNow Doorknock

If there was ever a moment to get loud for #ClimateActionNow that moment would be now.

In their new IPCC report released yesterday, the world’s top climate scientists say “we will miss the crucial goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C unless we dramatically scale up climate solutions to rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions.”

This Saturday, we’re responding to this latest report with action. Supporters from ACF, Queensland Conservation Council, and other local groups will be coming together to get #ClimateActionNow signs out across our neighbourhoods in Brisbane.

At the Brisbane #ClimateActionNow Doorknock, you will:

• 👂Hear insights from local campaigners and organisers
• 👋Get trained in doorknocking basics and best practices
• 🚶🚶Head out in pairs to find like-minded folks to post Climate Action Now signs on some highly trafficked streets in Brisbane

Is this your first time door knocking? No worries. We’ll give you the training and support you need to have a fun and impactful day together with others.

Last month, Australia’s biggest ever climate poll showed that a majority of people in every federal electorate in the country believe that the economy will become stronger by taking greater climate action.

In our community, Brisbane residents chose replacing gas and coal power with renewable energy and batteries storage as their number one priority solution for greater action on climate change this decade.

This Saturday, we’ll be sharing those Brisbane poll results with Brisbane residents and asking them to put up a #ClimateActionNow sign.

Together, let's get thousands of #ClimateActionNow signs out across Brisbane.
