From Friday 21 to Monday 24 April 2023, 100,000 people will surround the Houses of Parliament. Will YOU BE THERE?
A massive, ground breaking alliance of national and local groups, movements and individuals is forming. It’s going to be huge! No glue, no roadblocks, just people. Lots and lots of people! We’ll demand a citizen led end to the fossil fuel era and be impossible to ignore.
In 2019 the UN released a stark warning of climate, economic and social breakdown. Around the world school children went on strike and 10,000 people came out on the streets of London. Shortly after, Parliament declared an environment and climate emergency. Imagine what 100,000 people working together could do!
The climate, ecological, cost of living and political crises are all interlinked. By joining the dots between them, we can see it is time to unite across the UK in demanding systemic change. Here are just some of the national groups involved: Greenpeace; Friends of the Earth; Earth Day, NHS Workers Say No; Global Justice Now and Don’t Pay UK. Locally we’re joining with Dirty Water, Friends of Seaford Bay, sea swimming groups and the SEA Climate Hub and Lewes Climate Hub communities and more. There’ll be scores of us attending from the Lewes District alone!
