"Let's Talk About The Weather" Local Experiences of a Changing Climate

"LET'S TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER" Local Experiences of a Changing Climate will help us build bridges in our community through finding our common ground on the important topic of climate.

Please save the date - and bring a friend!

Bar & Supper & Live Music from 6pm to 6.30pm

Regardless of our politics and position on coal mines, most people in the area will have observed changes in the weather patterns that affect our land, flora, fauna and people.

Talking about what we're seeing and realising that 'we're all in this together' will be an important first step towards working together for change.

At the meeting, people in Boonah and surrounds will share their responses to the simple question: "How is the changing climate affecting you?"We'll hear from residents young and old; parents and students; graziers and dairy farmers; growers, butchers and medical practitioners; hobby gardeners, artists and naturalists; flora, fauna and catchment specialists; bee-keepers and teachers; and business owners in retail, eco-tourism, financial services and more.

The meeting will also be a chance to talk about what we can do - as individuals and as a community - to transition gradually and fairly towards a better future.

We're interested in everyone's story and if you'd like to contribute, please reply to this email or phone Rob (0448 077 713) or Alison (0427 300 462).

See you there!

Take More Action!

1. Marsh: rule out working with Adani!

Adani needs insurance to build their climate-wrecking coal project. They simply can’t progress critical work without it. Right now, insurance broker Marsh is shopping around the globe to find a company willing to insure this risky, destructive project. 

Our movement has pushed 64 major companies to abandon Adani, including 16 insurance companies, including Allianz, QBE, and Suncorp. Now it’s Marsh’s turn!

JOIN THE WEEK OF ACTION ON MARSH 16-20 MARCH 💪

On 16-20th March, groups across the country will be hosting a Week of Action to ramp up the pressure on Marsh and call on them to cut their ties with Adani!

2. Pressure contractors

Adani can’t build their mine by themselves. They need 1. Construction companies to help build the coal mine and rail. 2. Insurance companies to insure Adani’s project. And 3.  Haulage companies to transport the coal from the mine to port. Over 60 companies have already refused to work with Adani. Let’s keep going to make sure no one will help Adani fuel the climate crisis!

3. Defend land rights

Adani’s mine will destroy the ancestral lands and waters of the Wangan and Jagalingou people.The Wangan and Jagalingou Family Council have never give their free, prior and informed consent to Adani’s mine and have said No to Adani 5 times. In a shocking new low, Adani have bankrupted W&J senior spokesperson Adrian Burragubba. Despite this disgusting corporate bullying, W&J are continuing their fight to protect their country from Adani. Will you stand with them?

4. Expose Adani’s bad behaviour

Adani need somewhere to burn their coal. Right now Adani plan to burn it in their own coal-burning power stations in India. These polluting coal stations are worsening air pollution, dispossessing local villagers of their land, and draining sacred water sources. Local residents are fighting back, but taking on a powerful, multi-billionaire corporation is tough and dangerous. So we need to make sure we have their back.

Take Action

5. Escalate peaceful protest

Adani have started smashing down trees that are home to critically endangered species to build their monster coal mine. That means we need to escalate peaceful protest to stop Adani. Everyday Australians are engaging in brave acts of peaceful civil disobedience to stop Adani turbocharging the climate crisis.
