Climate Crisis: National Day of Action

Residents from the Hunter are welcome to rally together at Foreshore Park Newcastle from 1pm, 22nd February 2020 to march in solidarity alongside people all over Australia marking the inaugural National Climate Day of Action. We will stand together demanding government action and investment on a scale to match the current climate crisis, including:
- 100% Renewable Energy. Build a 100% publicly owned renewable energy system by 2030. Guaranteed jobs for affected fossil fuel workers. Just transition for communities. Good low-emissions jobs in energy, transport, manufacturing, disaster relief, health and education.
- No new fossil fuel or nuclear projects. End subsidies to these industries.
- Fund our firies. Increase funding and resources to cope with longer and more intense fire seasons. Pay rural firefighters and reverse cuts to parks and fire services.
- First nations justice. Funding for Indigenous-led land management with jobs on country to repair ecosystems, reduce emissions and reduce fire risk. Land and water rights for Indigenous peoples.
