Global Day of Action for Climate Justice – on Saturday November 6th
Please join us in Leicester city centre as we take part in a worldwide day of action:
- to highlight how climate change disproportionately affects the poorest in our communities.
- to call for action to address this injustice – action by politicians at COP26 and action in our city and communities.
The events in Leicester have been organised by
Climate Action, the Race Equality Centre, the Muslim Green Guardians, Leicester Friends of the Earth and the City Retreat
The timetable for the afternoon is:
- 2.30-3.30 pm at the Clock Tower: silent vigil for climate justice, please wear black or white.
- 3.30-4.00 pm in Jubilee Square: arrange ourselves in the shape of an eye and take an aerial photo to send to world leaders at the COP26 climate talks with the message “Leicester has its eye on you”.
- 4.00-6.00pm at the City Retreat on Churchgate: Write a postcard to our MPs calling for action, share plant-based food and swap pre-loved clothes.
Extinction Rebellion Leicester will also be in Jubilee Square from 9:30 am on Saturday and invite everyone to take along a pair of old shoes to help create a memorial to the victims of the climate crisis. Their samba band will be playing between noon and 1 pm and there will be some speakers.
