Dear friends in and around Sydney,
Something magical is happening... All across the world we’re coming together to hit the streets on November 29th -- hours before the most important climate summit this decade!
And it all starts with us Aussies! Sydney will be the first big event on the 29th and together we can create a bolt of people-powered action that will travel around the globe, from Tokyo to Johannesburg, Sao Paulo to Paris.
Click on the image below right now to join the People’s Climate March in Sydney and find out more information:
In the photo, last year's People’s Climate March in Sydney -- this year is going to be even bigger!
This is going to be mega! Last year almost 700,000 people took to their streets and created the largest mobilisation on climate change in history. In Sydney, thousands of us packed out Bicentennial Park and this year we are going even bigger, right in the heart of the city!
If hundreds of thousands of us join events in cities and towns everywhere, we’ll show our leaders meeting in Paris that our movement cannot be ignored and we will accept nothing less than an ambitious climate deal, with a global commitment to 100% clean energy!

Let’s seize this moment, for our future, our kids’ futures, and everything we love.
With hope,
Nic, Oli, Alice, Luca, Morgan, Iain and the rest of the Avaaz team
