Rising Tide Sydney regular meeting to move forward on building a powerful people's movement for the People's Blockade.

From November 24 - 27 this year in Newcastle, thousands of everyday people will take to the water for the People’s Blockade of the World’s Largest Coal Port, to demand “no new coal” and a rapid transition in a way that cannot be ignored.

Zane Alcorn argues why those concerned about global warming have a duty to show solidarity with communities on the frontline of the climate crisis they did not create. This includes coal workers, who need alternative, sustainable jobs.

“We need a powerful movement to make action on climate change unstoppable,” Alexa Stuart, a Rising Tide organiser, told a public meeting. Jim McIlroy reports.

There are growing calls on Minister Tanya Plibersek to ensure the country's main environment law takes climate change into account when assessing new fossil fuel and forestry projects. Pip Hinman reports.

For the last five days Blockade Australia has been taking coordinated disruptive action across three major ports, to protest Australia’s lack of climate action. Kerry Smith reports.
