3 February 2009, Parliament House, Canberra: Over 2500 Australians,
young and old, surrounded Parliament with a message that our leaders
cannot ignore. With Australian landmarks such as the Great Barrier
Reef and Murray-Darling River under threat, now is not the time to be
twiddling thumbs.

Add your voice to the thousands of Australians who want action on climate change from the Rudd government.

Join the Climate Emergency Rally in your city. Bring family and friends and wear red for emergency. Let's use our power to build a safe climate future.

Climate change is the biggest challenge of our time. The rally is our chance to show the government that the Australian public wants strong, swift action to solve the climate crisis.

Voters elected Kevin Rudd on a promise to tackle climate change but he has turned into little more than a cheerleader for the big polluters. Together we can build a people's movement for a safe climate future. Let's use our power!

We need our political leaders to act for the climate. Add your voice on June 13 to demand they:

1. Invest in renewable energy
We want 100% renewable energy by 2020.

2. Create green collar jobs and support workers
We can renew our economy by creating hundreds of thousands of green jobs and supporting workers to make the shift to sustainable industries.

3. Back a strong global deal
Australia must take the lead in global climate talks in Copenhagen 09, not undermine them with an ineffective 5%-25% emissions target. We must support those contries least responsible for climate change, including our Pacific neighbours.

4. Make big polluters pay with strong climate policy
The government's draft Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme must not become law in its current form. It would allow big companies to go on polluting and won't reduce Australia's greenhouse pollution.

Join thousands of Australians to stand up for real and urgent action!
