Walk Against Warming

Walk Against Warming
12.30pm, Saturday August 25th


Meet at Queens Park (cnr George and Elizabeth Sts). Procession to Riverstage, Botanic Gardens

Walk Against Warming brings together Australians for a community day of action on climate change. It’s been held annually since 2005 when 20,000 people walked in 17 locations nationwide. This quintupled last year with almost 100,000 people taking to the streets in 28 locations across Australia!

This year, this momentum will continue. We’re hoping Brisbane citizens turn out to send a clear message to our political leaders – that the community wants bolder and more effective government action on climate change… and we want it now!

The national Walk Against Warming will be held 2 weeks before the election. Brisbane is having its own Walk Against Warming on Saturday August 25th from 12.30pm at Queens Park. From there, we’ll walk to Riverstage at the Botanic Gardens for entertainment and speakers. We’re inviting people to bring a picnic and message on an umbrella or windmill and stay to hear more about this important issue and learn what you you can do to make a difference.

You can get more information and/or volunteer to help on the day by emailing Dom at info@qccqld.org.au or phoning 07 3221 0188.
