Say Yes to Climate Action Rally - 05.06.11, 1:00pm

Say 'Yes' Australia is a group of national civil society organisations working together to organise rallies around the country on the 5th of June to push for a strong price on carbon pollution and a cleaner Australia. Brisbane will be holding a family friendly rally at Brisbane Riverstage, 1pm Sunday June 5th

The Yes movement is a new collaboration of positive people with a combined membership of over three million. We’re sick of hearing “No, it can’t be done.”
Australians have always done big things. It’s more than just our Big Apple, Big Macadamia or Big Pineapple. Our creativity and determination made us one of the first countries in the world to give women the vote and to create a National Park. We built the Story Bridge and designed breakthrough inventions like the freestyle swim stroke and the dual-flush toilet.

So let’s keep going. This year is our best chance yet to pass a fair and ambitious price on pollution to tackle climate change. But we’ve all heard the naysayers arguing that carbon price means the end of civilisation as we know it. We need to change the story by taking back the debate from their fear mongering.

Our South East Queensland community can be part of something big.

Say Yes Australia is made up of the Australian Conservation Foundation, Australian Council of Trade Unions, Australian Youth Climate Coalition, Climate Action Network Australia, Environment Victoria, Getup, Greenpeace, The Climate Institute and WWF. The aim of the group is to advocate for climate action through an effective and strong price on pollution that helps transition Australia's economy to a safer and greener future.
