Join H4BW on The People’s Climate March, Sunday November 29

13 November, 2015

banner2011In about a month’s time, world leaders will be gathering in Paris for a crucial climate summit. It’s a chance for them to reach a strong agreement on climate – one that could help protect all we love, and preserve it for the enjoyment of future generations. Events in support of an ambitious global deal will be taking place worldwide, and here in the UK Humanists for a Better World have already signed up to join the People’s Climate March in London on November 29th.

The route has been announced and marchers will start gathering on 29th at 12:00 on Park Lane, next to Hyde Park Corner, ready to move off at 13:00.

Marchers will be forming up from the south end of Park Lane (nearest tube stations are Hyde Park Corner or Marble Arch). Blocs will form up under the separate banners of Climate, where H4BW will gather with the Transition bloc,  Justice and Jobs, and then alphabetically within that.
Check out the form up order at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Vj6fwC9PwIwDGVCHPbl2KZnJbOu2Ca2ZjNiSDM7VyQg/edit#gid=40560065, and find the letter D on a lamp post on Park Lane for our bloc.

The march will proceed through central London and finish with a star-studded rally on Millbank, outside Westminster, due to finish at 15:45. H4BW will be there with our banner and we hope you will join us. If you hear no more about where to meet, please head for the Transition bloc meeting place where if nothing more obvious comes to mind, H4BW can get together. It will be very crowded so look out for our banner (see left) – and if you miss us there will be plenty of friendly faces there anyway! Or persuade your local humanist group to come along, organise your own group, or join another one…

 You can find out more (for example about buses coming to London from various parts of the UK), and register to be kept updated by The Climate Coalition at http://fortheloveof.org.uk/peoples-climate-march/ .

There are also marches in other parts of the UK and though we can’t be there with the H4BW banner, you will probably find someone or a group you know to march with – see https://climate-march.herokuapp.com/ .   Or you could even go to Paris in time for the world leaders’ meeting on December 12th- see http://www.campaigncc.org/COP21Paris.
