350.org International Day of Climate Action 2009
On October 24, 2009 thousands of people gathered in hundreds of places around the world, in nearly EVERY country and raised their voices against the increasing levels of co2 in our atmoshere just before the COP climate conference in Copenhagen. The action, called for and promoted by 350.org, was the largest one day protest in human history.

350.org is once again calling for action, with a shifted focus: Global Days of Action To Power Up Renewables.
https://350.org/press-release/global-days-of-action-to-power-up-renewables/

The demands are simple:
Pay Up – make fossil fuels companies pay the bill: we must reclaim fossil fuel companies’ illegitimate profits. To start with, our governments should impose taxes on their unjust profits, eliminate subsidies, investments, and loans to coal, oil and gas companies. And instead, they should fund and support renewable energy initiatives rooted in justice.

Power Up – unleash the money to fund renewable energies: governments must redirect financial resources towards renewable energies through all the financial mechanisms possible, on local, national and global levels. These resources should align with the scale and urgency of the climate crisis and ensure a globally equitable distribution of funds.

Event registration and a map of Global Days of Action To Power Up Renewables actions and events are coming soon. Sign up to hear from them with more information and resources. You can also start planning and getting the word out to your friends, family and fellow activists!

These are calls for everyone to join the movement with your own creative actions, speakouts, art installations, marches, protests, strikes, occupations, forums, gatherings, civil disobedience or digital mobilisations.
