Dear Friend,

There’s some days that leave you changed for a lifetime. Friday was one of those.

The 350 Pacific Climate Warriors paddled out into the Port of Newcastle, followed by hundreds of Australians and came head to head with gigantic coal ships. It truly was David versus Goliath. Here’s how it looked:

Using hand carved canoes the Warriors, along with dozens of Australians in kayaks, were able to prevent 10 scheduled ships from passing through the Newcastle coal port. But most importantly, the Warriors stood tall and their message was heard loud and clear: they are not drowning, they are fighting.

The action continues this week, and you can hear the story first hand from the Pacific Warriors this week – at one of the speaking events: in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne.

For the hundreds of people who joined the Warriors, we thank you. As the Warriors continue their journey, help us tell their courageous story – share the Warrior’s story with your friends and ask them to stand with the Warriors. The Warriors will continue to fight, but they can not do it alone.

Thank you for your support

P.S. Did you see Divestment Day on the weekend? On Saturday, thousands of Australians stood up with the Pacific Warriors and moved their money out of banks that are supporting fossil fuels. Watch the video of the day or check out these photos. Stay tuned, in February we are going to take Divestment Day global.
