#LoveAndRageSydney
CBD – Sydney NSW | Saturday December 19
We waited until it is safe and now the time has come to bring the climate crisis back into focus.
We are at a crossroads
The choices we make now about the shape of the economic recovery may be the most consequential we ever make as a nation.
Federal government wants a return to business-as-usual, with large public investment in dirty energy projects to kickstart the economy. Others are promoting a business-led “green” recovery with fantasies of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. But the science is clear this is too late to stabilise the climate. We cannot prioritise economic growth above the lives of our children and future generations. We cannot afford to move by increments anymore.
The climate emergency is upon us and we must act now. A commitment to net zero by 2025 provides us with the best chance – maybe the only chance – of halting permanent climate and ecological collapse. Yet in the wake of the most devastating bushfires in our nation’s history, the government response has been to delegate these monumental decisions to a small group of unrepresentative fossil-fuel elites and their mates.
The science, and the voices of the people continue to be ignored. The notion of a national recovery that consolidates fossil fuel growth is the clearest sign yet that our systems of government are not working. The only solution now is a deepening of democracy. We don’t need a Covid Commission, we need a Citizen’s Assembly to chart the course for a climate-safe recovery. Through the pandemic we have witnessed what we are capable of when we listen to the science, work together, and act fast against an existential threat. We have just lived the truth that what we truly value most is preserving life. And we have seen that another world is possible.
But only the power of the people can make it a reality. Only rebellion can create the momentum for change.
We are on the way to a movement of non-violent mass participation that will change the world. We take action with health-safe, but disruptive, on-the-ground acts of civil disobedience.
