Calling all nature lovers and climate activists in Fremantle!
We've just had the hottest year on record. In the coming months, we will have a WA state election, an Australian federal election and final decisions on Woodside's North West Shelf Extension and Browse gas coming up. The NWS Extension and Browse gas project in Scott Reef are both key parts of the Burrup Hub, which will be the most polluting project in the Southern Hemisphere, emitting over 14 times Australia's annual emissions over it's lifetime!
What does this all mean? Right now is the most critical and opportune time to take action and #GoBeyondGas. History tells us we need to take collective action and build power to win!
How are we building power?
We’re banding together to distribute hundreds of posters and core flutes in key electorates to start conversations and raise the profile of climate as a key voter issue! Imagine driving around your neighbourhood and seeing a sea of signs everywhere calling for stronger climate action. It’ll be a great show of solidarity and show politicians how strong we are together!
Join the Freo Go Beyond Gas group on Saturday 30th November from 9:30am-12:30pm at Esplanade Park, and become part of something big!
Go Beyond Gas Freo is hosting a community climate catch-up to create a space for locals to connect, collaborate and act. Below is a breakdown of the day:
Freo Team Meeting: 9:30am-10:30am
- Meet other nature and climate activists in Rockingham and Mandurah area
- Discuss local and state climate matters.
- Connect on stories of resilience and resistance
- Prepare signs for the 'Neighbourhood Poster Drop'
- Make plans for the new year!
Neighbourhood Poster Drop: 10:30am-12:30pm
- Walk around Freo business centre, inviting businesses to host a 'Climate Action Now' or 'Go Beyond Gas' coreflute or poster.
- Have conversations with community members about climate change and why it will be an important election issue.
The climate is changing rapidly and we're all feeling the effects. Given recent global news, if you are feeling worried about what our collective future will look like, then this is the place for you! After all, taking action is the key to having hope in the face of adversity.
We'll be banding together to discuss how to take on gas giant Woodside's polluting gas projects, and grow GBG's visibility in the community so that everyone is talking about climate change over the next few months!
Together, we can make a real difference for our collective futures!
Please RSVP to confirm attendance. You just need to bring yourself. Anyone is welcome, so feel free to bring a friend or two 😊
