Draw the line in Wellington this Oct 5 – 9.

Subject: The moment you have been waiting for

Dear [name],

Join mass civil disobedience in Wellington this October to demand urgent action on the climate and ecological crises.

We want a future where all life thrives

All children deserve the opportunity to flourish and enjoy the beauty of our planet.

Yet fossil fuel industries are pushing us toward mass extinction

The 100 companies responsible for 71% of greenhouse emissions are pouring carbon into our climate at record levels. This is despite the UN’s warning that we must act urgently to prevent irreversible damage and human misery from the climate crisis. Without action, one million species may go extinct in the next few years. In New Zealand, two-thirds of our rare ecosystems are under threat of collapse.

Either we make history or we’re history

We can’t wait for the Government. They are too slow to act and continue to back destructive industries. We are inspired by the everyday people of London who chose to make history in April and took mass nonviolent civil disobedience. They achieved what facts, petitions and marches on their own hadn’t: the UK declared a climate and ecological emergency.

In October, the London rebellion will spread to capitals across the world. Wellington will be the first to rebel. This is the moment you have been waiting for. It’s time for New Zealand to declare an emergency. Read more about our plans.
