Stop the Cuts: We are keeping up the pressure
Great success. The CABs have been saved.
The water management of the city has been put to 6 years (not 20 years!): opening and realigning streams, more green spaces. I.e. mitigation for the developing climate crisis.
Minimising the climate crisis remains under threat. Transport is the biggest polluter in the city. It needs to transform the transport system to public and electric, and micro-mobility. This also addresses the cost of living as we will not need to own our own car to move around the city.
The sales of the Airport Shares remains under threat.
Watch for the call out to support presentations to Council, attendances to critical meetings etc.
Next Action is June 29, 10 am at the Town Hall
