Join a peaceful, creative action in Rundle Mall to highlight the urgent need to protect our children, grandchildren, and future generations from climate risk.

Mothers' Rebellion is a global movement of mothers, caregivers, and allies across 6 continents who refuse to look away, refuse to give up, and instead turn climate frustration and grief into action.

Meet next to the State Library on North Terrace at 10.45am for a briefing, before moving to Rundle Mall from 11am – 12pm. Finish with an optional picnic in Hindmarsh Square at midday.

Mothers, carers, children, and supporters are all welcome. This is a family friendly event with kids’ activities and music.

What to bring:

A piece of children’s clothing to hang on the washing line.
Musical instruments, whistles, drums
A placard with a climate message (we’ll have some too)
Family and friends

This peaceful event is sponsored by South Australia Grass-Roots Ecosystem (SAGE) and Extinction Rebellion SA (XRSA).

The State Planning Commission (the Commission) has released the Greater Adelaide Regional Plan (the Plan) and want to hear from community, councils and industry on how we sustainably prepare for future growth.

The Plan set outs a long-term vision for Greater Adelaide, detailing where people will live and work, how they will move around and where they will access services. It provides data and recommendations for managing growth and adapting to changes in our community and urban environment.

Submission: You can fill their form or can be as simple as emailing them whatever you want to say. Emailing a submission to plansasubmissions@sa.gov.au with the subject line: Submission: Greater Regional Adelaide Plan

Desk Action added by SAGE

Here is the SAGE submission from the last round in November 2023. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KL04Xr77WIdicq58ozY5Q4pb-G97R7Vzrrh9EZNe4N4/edit?tab=t.0

Seems they've ignored a lot including ignoring requests to have more rail and walkable cities. Requests to ensure that rails and trams are foregrounded in the plans is very valuable.

Also requesting that young people are seeking affordable multi-story living within a short (20min) commute of the city

(Dont say "15 min cities", its a right-wing trigger word now)
