Last year when we blockaded the Newcastle coal port with 3000 people we made international news, and this year’s blockade will be even bigger, with a turnout goal of 10,000. If 2023 was the spark, 2024 will be the big bang. And that’s why Rising Tide is going on tour. In mass gatherings, trainings and actions across 5 states/territories of Australia, we’ll build excitement for the blockade and start prepping to make it massive!

The Rising Tide Tour hits Adelaide from June 27th- 29th. To kick things off we are hosting a Community Climate Gathering. Join us for a night of inspiring speakers, music and food! RSVP: Sign up below to reserve a seat. https://form.123formbuilder.com/…/adelaide-tour-gathering

Cost: Free! Want to support our movement? Donations are welcome on the night. Food/Drinks: Food, tea, coffee provided, including vegan and gluten free options. Bringing a friend? Please ask them to RSVP too, this would be a great help!

This event will be held on Kaurna Country, and we pay our respects to Indigenous people everywhere, whose struggle for justice remains integrally tied to land rights and environmental protection.

Renew Australia for All is a new, people-powered coalition backed by unions, social services, First Nations, environment and climate organisations, multicultural organisations, clean industry, faith groups and local community groups. We are united in our belief that Australia must act faster, and guarantee fairness, if we are to reap the benefits of the global shift to a clean economy in our homes, workplaces, and communities. It’s why we’re seeking a historic climate solutions package from the Federal government.

Renew Australia for All will host an Adelaide ‘listening tour’ event to gather the views and perspectives of people experiencing climate and energy challenges first hand and local knowledge about climate solutions in your community. We will share the outcomes and findings with national decision makers in Canberra and elsewhere.
