Follow the suffragettes & inspire social change!

Posted on 28 September 2008

Climate Rush logo“Normal people can change the world”. What is more inspiring than that? This is the first sentence on the Climate Rush website for a very positive event happening soon.

Following in the footsteps of the suffragettes and remembering their bravery and determination of a hundred years ago, women and men will be gathering at Parliament on 13th October to demand a better future.

So, if you want the government to…

  • stop airport expansion
  • stop the build of new coal-fire power stations
  • create policies in line with recent climate science

…go to Parliament and tell them!

This is a peaceful rally with serious concerns. To find out the plan for the day visit the Climate Rush website at www.climaterush.co.uk. See the Climate Rush blog too for the build up and background info.
