On the last weekend of November, will you help create the biggest climate march the world has ever seen?
As our world leaders meet in Paris for the United Nations climate summit, COP21, we will gather in Australian cities and walk alongside millions of people in hundreds of major cities around the world.
By coming together we are demonstrating that our political leaders are out of step with the Australian community and the rest of the world.
We are marching because we want our leaders listen to our communities and help us build a brighter and fairer future for all.
We are marching because we want a just transition to 100% clean energy and an end to fossil fuels.
We are marching because from here on in, we’re all in.
