Don’t hang our kids out to dry!

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).
