This year we’re taking our message for a safe climate straight to the people that matter most – the voters. This year we’re asking you to join us for the first ever Great Suburban Walk.
Sunday 15 August
The Great Suburban Walk
There’s a federal election on its way, yet our political leaders continue to backflip, delay and deny on climate change. With so much at stake, it’s time for the community to put climate action back on the election agenda.
On Sunday 15 August Friends of the Earth is joining with Environment Victoria and the Victorian climate movement to hold the 2010 Walk Against Warming to demand that our political leaders face up to their responsibility on climate change. We’ll remind them that to secure our votes, they must ‘Walk with the People, Not the Big Polluters’.
This year’s Walk.
12.30pm Sunday 15 August
This year we’re taking our message for a safe climate straight to the people that matter most – the voters. This year we’re asking you to join us for the first ever Great Suburban Walk.
The Great Suburban Walk will take place in Victorian marginal electorates, including Melbourne, LaTrobe and Deakin. In each of these key electorates we’ll coordinate hundreds of Victorians to come together for a quick rally calling for climate action. Following this, with your help we plan to letterbox the entire seat with our key climate asks to make sure that voters in those electorates know what actions our leaders must take on climate change. We’ll also work with regional climate action groups who want to take the Great Suburban Walk to their home towns and are keen to letterbox parts of their electorates.
This means that less than one week before the federal election, up to 300,000 of the most influential voters in Victoria will receive our safe climate message.
Can you help us reach 300,000 voters with our safe climate message?
