Dear John,

Despite the weather warning today- we should be in the clear ahead of the march meeting time at 1pm! These last few weeks have shown us there is so much energy, appetite and people power ready to push back on fossil fuels and the industry's influence. If you would like to read more about our demands check out this and this Instagram post!

I wanted to share with you what you'll need for tomorrow and what to expect!

Please:

Wear comfortable and appropriate clothes for walking and weather conditions.

Bring snacks and water to sustain you for the afternoon.

Bring a banner, a sign or a makeshift drum from a pot of pan and drumstick!
