The People’s Blockade
& Canberra Wave
Definitely coming? Register HERE before Sunday 10th November
The People’s Blockade 2024 will be groundbreaking - 10,000 people over 10 days, coming together for a family-friendly Protestival and flotilla blockade in one of the most significant climate uprisings on the planet, stopping coal exports from the world’s largest coal port at Muloobinba (Newcastle) on Awabakal and Worimi land and water for an unprecedented 50 hours!
Come for an hour, come for 10 days!
Last year's Blockade was incredible; with a 3,000 people-powered peaceful flotilla, we stopped the coal ships for 32 hours. And when 109 people chose to take further action and get arrested, they made global headlines demanding an end to new fossil fuels and transition funding for workers and communities. With over 1,000 media hits – it was the largest civil disobedience for climate justice in Australia’s history.
Strap yourself in - this year will be three times the scale - and you don’t want to miss it!
The People’s Blockade
After rolling national and international media coverage of the People’s Blockade, we‘ll ride the wave of energy and media attention to Ngunawal and Ngambri Country.
From Newcastle, we’ll head straight to Parliament House in Canberra to demand the PM answer: “When will you stop new coal and gas?”. For the last three days of the sitting Parliament for 2024, we’ll occupy Parliament lawns with a peaceful vigil against fossil fuel expansion.
In the lead-up to the 2025 federal election, we must cut through with a single clear message for voters: new coal & gas = Labor’s climate failure.
You can join the Canberra Wave regardless of whether or not you attend the People’s Blockade in Newcastle.
