* Climate Welcome Action

Over the last week, hundreds of people have told us that they’re planning to risk arrest this November at the the Climate Welcome Action. I’ve been moved by the courage of these people and their stories.

Here are some of the reasons that people across the country are mobilizing to the reasons that have motivated them to risk arrest outside the Prime Minister’s residence in less than a month:

“I am a mother to a small child and I owe it to him to fix the mistakes that we've made.”- Katrina - Nanaimo, BC

“I'm involved in the fossil fuel divestment campaign at my university.  In order for divestment to have a real impact on climate policy, we need politicians who care about climate and will listen to people.”- Lila - Toronto, Ontario

“I'm coming for all those around me exasperated with the inaction.We need some courageous political action to overcome business interests around the world.” - Geoffrey - Ottawa, Ontario

These are just a few of the reasons why ordinary people are planning to sit-in and demand a freeze on tar sands expansion and a commitment to a rapid, justice based transition to a clean energy economy. Click here to read more and help to share these stories.

This November will be a historic moment in Canadian history. A newly elected Prime Minister will receive a welcome unlike any other.

We need to make sure that the Prime Minister hears our powerful call for climate action and we just can’t do that without your help.
