Stop Fuelling the Climate Crisis! Mass Rally @ Parliament

The climate crisis is here and the science is clear. We need an urgent transition away from fossil fuels like oil, coal and gas that are heating up the planet, causing sea levels to rise and making bushfires, floods and cyclones more frequent and extreme.
And yet, right now our Government is approving dozens of new coal and gas projects - pouring fuel on the climate fire and putting all our lives at risk.
Join hundreds of people from across the country as we come together during the last sitting week of Parliament to demand Prime Minister Albanese answer the question: When will your Government stop approving climate destroying coal and gas mines?!
WHAT: A family friendly rally in the final sitting week of Parliament to demand our Government stop approving new coal and gas projects.
WHEN: 12.00-2.00pm on Wednesday 27 November
WHERE: Parliament House lawns, Canberra on Ngunnawal and Ngambri country
RSVP HERE: https://www.risingtide.org.au/cw-mass-rally
We’re excited to announce award-winning rock band Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers will be performing!
Speakers to be announced soon. We’ll also be inviting all MPs who support our demand of no new coal and gas approvals to join us.
Every fraction of a degree of warming we can prevent matters. The coal and gas we keep in the ground today will protect lives, livelihoods, and nature for generations to come.
Join us to demand our leaders stand up to the mining billionaires, put communities first and ban all new coal and gas projects immediately.
This rally will take place during the ‘Canberra Wave’ of Rising Tide’s People’s Blockade of the World’s largest coal port. The Canberra Wave is a three day peaceful vigil and occupation of the Parliament lawns on Nov 26-28 to end coal and gas (learn more & register here: www.risingtide.org.au/canberrawave).
