ACF Community Menzies #ClimateStrike contingent

If you live in Warrandyte and surrounds, and want to step up to take action on stopping climate damage, why not travel to the Global #ClimateStrike in Melbourne with like-minded friends?

Everyone is welcome and everyone is needed!

If you haven’t been to a rally before then maybe you would enjoy some company on the journey to this rally! Join me and other Warrandyte friends and travel together by bus to the #ClimateStrike

Meet at 12pm on Friday 20 September at the front of Quintons Warrandyte IGA, 402 Warrandyte Rd, Warrandyte VIC 3113

Together we'll catch the 906 bus to the City at either 12.31pm or 12.46 pm, alighting near Spring Street then walking to Treasury Gardens to join the Global #ClimateStrike at 2 - 4pm.

This massive, student-led movement is building power around the world, and the students are asking all of us to stand with them on 20 September for a day of high-impact global action.

By attending the strike together, we’ll share this critical moment while building relationships with other locals and chatting more about what can be done in our own area.

Some people love a rally, relishing the chance to exercise their democratic rights. Others find even the thought of a rally quite stressful, yet find the idea of inaction on climate so much more stressful they're considering joining the crowds. If you're in the latter camp, meet up with us and let’s go in together!

In March, over 150,000 students and supporters across Australia striked for climate action. Since then, they're only stronger and more organised – capturing hearts and minds globally, and putting huge pressure on our leaders to step up.

Now, it's time for all of us to stand with them and turn the Warrandyte community out to make this strike HUGE!

Australia is in the thick of the climate crisis. Our emissions are increasing, and our governments refuse to stop massive new fossil fuel projects like Adani’s coal mine.

But together, we can turn all this around. On 20 September, let's stand with the students as they strike school and gather in huge numbers to demand climate action from our leaders here and around the world.

Everyone is invited. And everyone is needed. If you’re an adult, join the students in solidarity – see you there!

ACF Community Menzies is part of a network of independently organised, volunteer-run groups in the ACF community. ACF will pass on your contact details to the host for the purpose of running the event.

The Global #ClimateStrike is a student-led event with assistance from our allies Friends of the Earth and the Australian Youth Climate Coalition.
