    Simon Moore | Unite to survive at The Big One, London

    On the 1st January 2023, Extinction Rebellion (XR) made a shock announcement titled simply ‘We Quit’. After years of public disruption raising the alarm on the climate and ecological emergency, they had decided to shift their focus into mobilising larger numbers of people – to unite to survive. That led XR and hundreds of other campaign groups and NGOs to bring 100,000 people on to the streets outside Parliament in London, 21-24 April, for ‘The Big One’. Join climate justice activist Simon Moore as he explores the protest and meets seasoned activists and newbies, mothers and grandmothers, filmmakers and singers, young and old. Find out why they are at The Big One and what they think the future holds for climate activism. Charlie Gardner explains why scientists need to get onto the streets and stop hoping that scientific reports alone will solve anything. Orchestrated Discontent perform to spectators at the London Marathon and ask people to speak up for others, for Black lives, for trans lives, and for restoring Africa. Holly gives her thoughts on her partner Marcus Decker’s recent sentence of two years and seven months in jail for protesting with Just Stop Oil. And Rich Felgate shares his expectations for the ‘ecosystem of resistance’ that we could see from the climate movement in the coming years.

    Climate Media Centre | Election Reactions

    Dylan Quinnell from the Climate Media Centre recorded with members of some of Australia's leading climate action groups, the day after the election. This short episode is a great way to listen back on their excitement from the election results, and a great way to get yourself pumped to take action in this new chapter for Australia! Audio grabs and quotes below:   Rural and regional Australians respond to the Federal Election, and what they want to see happen next:    AGRICULTURE   Fiona Davis, CEO of Farmers for Climate Action, from regional Victoria, talks about the importance of climate in the election, and the need for stronger climate policies moving forward, to farmers including the organisation's 7,000 supporters. Fiona says we need deep emissions reductions this decade to protect Australian farmers from extreme weather events, and to ensure farmers can continue to produce food for Australins and the world.  [Audio grabs from Fiona Davis]   Charlie Prell, chair of Farmers for Climate Action, and fourth-generation sheep farmer who also hosts wind turbines on his property in Crookwell, NSW talks about how climate change has become an important issue in the bush. He talks about the election, including increased support for Nationals' candidates more progressive on climate, as well as the need for integrity and progressive action in government moving forward. [Audio grabs from Charlie Prell]   :   BUSHFIRE SURVIVOR   Jo Dodds, president of Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action and bushfire survivor from Tathra, NSW South Coast, talks about how the issue of climate change motivated many voters this election. She also talks about the urgency and immediacy of the climate change threat and what she and fellow bushfire survivors want to see from the new government.  [Audio grabs from Jo Dodds]   HEALTH EXPERTS
