Our demands

1. TELL THE TRUTH

Government must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change.

2. ACT NOW

Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025.

3. BEYOND POLITICS

Government must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens' Assembly on climate and ecological justice.

4. JUST TRANSITION

We demand a just transition that prioritizes the most vulnerable people and establishes indigenous sovereignty; establishes reparations and remediation led by and for Black people, Indigenous people, people of color and poor communities for years of environmental injustice, establishes legal rights for ecosystems to thrive and regenerate in perpetuity, and repairs the effects of ongoing ecocide to prevent extinction of humanity and all species, in order to maintain a livable, just planet for all.

Our Principles

1. we have a shared vision of change

Creating a world that is fit for generations to come.

2. we set our mission on what is necessary

Mobilizing 3.5% of the population to achieve system change - using ideas such as "Momentum-driven organizing" to achieve this.

3. we need a regenerative culture

Creating a culture which is healthy, resilient and adaptable.

4. we openly challenge ourselves and our toxic system

Leaving our comfort zones to take action for change.

5. we value reflecting and learning

Following a cycle of action, reflection, learning, and planning for more action. Learning from other movements and contexts as well as our own experiences.

6. we welcome everyone and every part of everyone

Working actively to create safer and more accessible spaces.

7. we actively mitigate for power

Breaking down hierarchies of power for more equitable participation.

8. we avoid blaming and shaming

We live in a toxic system, but no one individual is to blame.

Using nonviolent strategy and tactics as the most effective way to bring about change.
