This Sunday 21 September CLIMARTE will take part in what could be the largest global climate change march in history, the People's Climate Mobilisation.
As heads of state go to New York City for a historic summit on climate change we will take this day to send a message.
And our message is simple. It’s time for Australia to get out of the way of real climate action, to say no to fossil fuel expansion and to protect and grow our renewable energy sector.
So please come this Sunday, wherever you are, because its time for action, not words.
In Melbourne march with CLIMARTE. Meet at 10.45am at the Ormond Statue, RMIT, corner of La Trobe and Bowen Streets, opposite the State Library and Mr Tulk cafe.
