Public meeting: It’s Time to Act! – building up the Climate Movement from the bottom

May 13, 2014 by sheffield

Thursday 29th May, 7pm-9pm

Can Sheffield take a leading role? A discussion led by Suzanne Jeffrey from the Campaign Against Climate Change. Suzanne is a key driver behind the One Million Climate Jobs and It’s Time to Act campaigns. More information about ‘Its Time to Act’ campaign on www.campaigncc.org/timetoact.

The alternative to climate chaos starts with building a movement from below. All progressive changes in society have been brought about through movements of people, creating a massive groundswell. Think of the civil rights movement in the States, the abolition of slavery and apartheid and the winning of rights for women. The Time to Act! Campaign sets out to build a base, aiming to bring the political pressure needed to commit Government and the European Commission to a carbon-free future. Go out and argue the climate case and build local climate alliances.

Venue: Quaker Meeting House, St. James’ Street, Sheffield, S1 2EW

Current Campaigns

Don't let corporate courts block climate action.
Corporate courts give fossil fuel companies the power to sue governments for taking action on the climate emergency. They are an obstacle to a clean energy transition and to achieving climate justice. Tell Boris Johnson and the trade department not to let corporate courts block climate action.

Suspend patents on Covid-19 vaccines.
We are facing a global scarcity of vaccines because big pharma patents and corporate secrecy prevent other manufacturers from making them. We need the government to remove the barriers to ramp up global supply and ensure fair allocation of vaccines. No one is safe until everyone is safe. Join the campaign for A People's Vaccine.
