With the People’s Climate Assembly coinciding with the opening of Australian Parliament for 2020, Extinction Rebellion Northern Rivers (XRNR) is organising two buses to travel to Canberra to take part.
Organisers say it will be an ‘historical event and opportunity to demand the Australian government wake up to the crisis all around us and declare a climate emergency!’
XRNR intend to leave from Lismore on Saturday February 1 at 4pm and return Thursday February 6 at 10am. The cost will be between $100 and $150. Carpooling is also encouraged. ‘Please sort your own accomodation, there will be camp out and billeting options available.’
For more info call Naomi on 0423 927 415 or visit the XRNR Facebook page.
