The Australian Religious Response to Climate Change (ARRCC) would like to invite you to: 

People's Climate March

Date: Friday 27 November 2015       Time: 5:30pm
Location: State Library of Victoria, 328 Swanston St, Melbourne VIC 3000 (corner Swanston St and La Trobe St)

As the world’s leaders gather in Paris to determine what kind of collective action humanity will take to slow global warming, massive People’s Marches will be staged across the globe to give the people of a world a voice – and we’re all invited. This is likely to be the largest mobilisation the world has ever seen. To make the People’s Marches work, we all need to step up and play our own role in making them happen.

At this stage, the one organisation clearly focussed on ensuring the voices of many faiths are heard at these People’s Climate Marches is us – ARRCC. We want to ensure that people from across all faiths, Buddhist, Jewish, Islamic, Christian, Hindu and Baha’i are welcomed and have a place in these rallies. With all the heartache being felt across the world today, these rallies give us the opportunity to have our voices heard, but also to come together and share and celebrate our humanity and care and compassion for this beautiful planet and each other.

Please let’s make this a true celebration from across all our shared faith communities.
