Stop Global Warming rally

Issue 

Activists from climate-action groups, environment collectives at the University of Queensland and Griffith University, Friends of the Earth, the Queensland Nuclear Free Alliance, Resistance and the Socialist Alliance are coming together to organise a "Stop Global Warming" rally in the week of World Environment Day (June 5).

The rally will be held at noon on June 9 at Queens Park, and will call for massive public investment into renewable energy technologies such as solar and wind power, instead of the Howard government's push for the dangerous and dirty non-solution of nuclear power.

The rally will also call for setting serious greenhouse-gas emission reduction targets and the ratification by Canberra of the Kyoto Protocol; for free public transport and for more cycleways to get cars off the roads; and for sustainable solutions in all areas of energy production and use.

Any interested group or individual concerned with global warming is urged to get involved in building the June 9 rally by phoning David on 0403 871 082 or Jenni on 0434 146 832.
