March through London for climate action
Date and time
Description
This event has now passed, but please join us on June 17th 2015 to Speak Up For The Love Of... all we hold dear that could be lost to climate change.
Why?
For the love of bees, football and bananas, bluebells, hedgehogs, and our families.
...and for the local park and Britain's beautiful seasons. For the food on our plates and the tea in our mugs.
Too many of the things we love could be changed by climate change forever, so in the name of the things we love, people from all walks of life are coming together to call on politicians to take action.
What to bring
There will be a chance to share what you love on a big screen at the end of march. Photographers will be ready to capture what you care about and broadcast the message to the Government that they must act now on climate change. So bring along something you love on the day!
Bring everyone you love too: your friends, your next door neighbour, your local librarian, your children, your grandparents, your pet dog, everyone's invited!
