What do we want? Climate Justice!
50,000 people joined The WAVE in London, Edinburgh & Belfast, UK’s biggest climate demonstration. It was part of a worldwide day of action demanding a Fair, Ambitious & Binding Copenhagen deal. www.stopclimatechaos.org/the-wave
Many came from Cambridge Carbon Footprint, encircling parliament with the WI, FoE, Unison, Oxfam, RSPB, Tearfund and all the other organisations from the Stop Climate Chaos coalition. It was great to be marching with such a range of people.
3 reps from each organisation had a useful Q&A with Ed Miliband and some also met with Gordon Brown. Our message is getting through – let’s hope it helps get a good deal in Copenhagen!
