Canberra Wave – Peaceful Two-Day Occupation for Climate Justice
November 24 - November 26
FreeThe Canberra Wave (Tuesday to Thursday 24-26 November) will bring the message of “no more coal exports” to the last sitting day of Federal Parliament for 2024. The event begins at the Tent Embassy and then continues to Parliament House.
The Canberra Wave Event is a follow up action to The People’s Blockade taking place at Nobby’s Beach, Newcastle from 19 – 26 November. For more information about the Blockade and to register for it, GO HERE.
Canberra Quakers are already part of the Canberra organising group, and we are looking for more volunteers to participate in planned events. These include:
- joining the main rally on Wednesday 25 November,
- offering accommodation to Rising Tide participants from interstate, and
- staffing a tent that will be a base for a ‘faith’ group presence at the rally.
Friends from other Regional Meetings will be joining the Canberra Wave after participation in the blockade at Newcastle. Our Meeting House is likely to be a centre for gathering and dispersal. Let’s show that Canberra Quakers really care about the environment and what’s happening with the climate around the planet.
