Join a major demonstration in London on Saturday 20 September as part of a global week of action on climate justice called by civil society coalitions, including Demand Climate Justice.
In the UK, the demonstation is backed by campaigning organisations and trade unions nationwide (see list).
The alliance representing millions of workers, citizens and communities across Britain makes three key demands:
1. Tax the super-rich
The NHS is crumbling, schools are underfunded, energy bills keep rising – and billionaires keep getting richer. But politicians are choosing to balance the books on the backs of the poorest people. It’s time to tax the super-rich and use this money to fund the services we all depend on.
2. Protect workers, not billionaires
The economy should work for the people who keep the country running, not corporations and billionaires. Our government must prioritise creating decent, reliable jobs for everyone in every community, and supporting the renewable industries of the future, rather than preserving extreme wealth for a few at the top.
3. Make polluters pay
Half the world’s emissions come from a handful of fossil fuel companies. These companies have known about the danger they’re putting us all in for decades. The people who have made trillions knowingly destroying nature, and putting our futures at risk, must foot the bill for cleaning up the mess they’ve created.
