VIDEO – Why We Walked On to Abbot Point Port 350 org

Dear friend,

Last Monday over 100 Australians, led by Traditional Owners and Reef town locals, took a powerful stand at the gateway to Australia’s largest proposed coal project.

Together we pledged to take part in bold acts of civil disobedience to stop the disastrous Galilee Coal mines and Abbot Point port expansion once and for all.

Adani, Australia’s big 4 banks and our government continue to ignore the community’s call for these senseless projects to be shelved. That’s why Australians everywhere are taking the Reef Defenders Pledge. Will you join them?

By taking the pledge you are showing the backers of this project that you won’t stand idly by and allow them to get away with climate and reef destruction. You’ll be joining with thousands of Australians who are willing to take bold community actions to stop these projects from seeing the light of day.

Watch the video to hear the stories of those who have already pledged and then join them here.

Last Monday we heard from Aunty Carol Prior, Juru Traditional Owner, talk about the beauty and cultural significance of the area around Abbot Point and the Reef. She invited all of us to join her in taking the pledge to stop the destruction of her country.

As thousands of Australians sign the pledge we will build a powerful network of people stretching across every corner of the country — people who are willing to take part in bold actions to protect our future. This is our warning to Adani and the banks – rule out these projects OR face an unrelenting community campaign.

Watch the video to share in the power of Monday’s action and take the pledge to be involved in the next wave of actions.

Thanks for being a part of this movement and this crucial moment.

Josh and Moira on behalf of the Reef Defenders Alliance and 350.org Australia
