Talk Climate Change in Granton tonight

XR CLIMATE CHANGE TALK & DISCUSSION

TONIGHT at Granton:Hub 6 – 7.30pm

Find out about the crisis we are all facing at a talk and join the discussion.

“We can no longer stand by and act as if the future doesn’t matter. We face floods, wildfires, extreme weather, crop failure, mass migration and the breakdown of society. World leaders have failed to adequately confront this crisis.

“Extinction Rebellion is an international network using non-violent direct action to persuade governments to act on the Climate and Ecological Emergency. People of all ages and backgrounds, from school age children to 80 year olds, are joining in action.”

EVERYONE WELCOME

Tomorrow: Made in Granton at Madelvic House
