Climate Emergency Rally – Today!
Challenge the government to take emergency action on climate!
Come today to the Climate Emergency Rally at Speakers Corner, Hyde Park at 12.00 noon (nearest tube Marble Arch)
Speakers will include Michael Meacher MP (Lab), Simon Hughes MP (Lib Dem), John McDonnell MP (Lab), Caroline Lucas MEP (Green), Maria Souverin (Bolivian ambassador), John Stewart (HACAN – campaign against Heathrow 3rd runway), Chris Baugh (PCS – Public and Commercial Services Union) and Ellie Hopkins from the UK Youth Climate Coalition (UKYCC).
The Rally will be a chance for demonstrators to put concrete demands to government for emergency action on climate (see below), many of which formed part of the radical EDM 2057. Speakers will include MPs who have signed this including John McDonnell MP (Lab) and Lynn Jones MP (Lab)
Musical interludes will be provided by Seize the Day.
This day, Saturday 5th December will see the biggest UK demonstration on climate so far with greater commitment than ever before from a wide range of NGOs, brought together by the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition for the main event, called “The Wave” which will leave Grosvenor Square at about 1.00 pm to surround parliament for the ‘wave event’ at about 3.00 pm. The Climate Emergency Rally will precede “The Wave” and rally-goers will feed into it as it leaves Grosvenor Square.
