" March 7th 2015 The People's Climate March was a defining moment for the climate movement - an estimated 40,000 in London, 400,000 in New York and many more thousands around the world show that people are not prepared for politicians to stick their head in the sand. But we must keep the pressure up for climate action. Planning is getting going for 7th March 2015! On this date, two months before the UK General Election, we will be taking to the streets of London with our allies in a march to remind politicians that they have no mandate for climate-wrecking business as usual! Join blocs which together tell the story of climate change: from the causes (fossil fuels and investment in them), the consequences (for food and water, for example) and the solutions (renewable energy, climate jobs, better transport). Following imaginative actions to highlight these, we will all assemble around Parliament for a mass wake-up call - Time to Act! Latest news Next London planning meeting Tuesday 6 January 2015 (venue tbc) - all welcome Local / regional meetings to strengthen local alliances and plan for action. You can check out our local meetings coming up (there's a report here from one held earlier in the year in Sheffield). If you might be interested in organising a similar meeting in your area contact info@campaigncc.org Trade unions - Find out more about supporting Time to Act and read more about our work with trade unions. You can also read or buy the new report: One Million Climate Jobs. What are we calling for? From delay to action: 10% emissions cuts year on year, creating at least one million climate jobs. From fracking and fossil fuels to renewable energy for all our needs. From cold homes and energy waste to insulation for all. From exploitation to climate justice: UK support for a just international climate deal. Under these unifying demands we recognise the diversity of climate action in the UK - we are working with all sorts of groups and organisations, large and small. To get involved as a group, contact timetoact@campaigncc.org. As an individual, the best way to support the campaign is to join the Campaign against Climate Change as a member. You can also sign up for our free mailings to get all the latest campaign news. We're also on Facebook and Twitter. "
