The Time is NOW!
Mass lobby for climate, nature and people
The Time is Now is a mass lobby of parliament organised by a coalition of groups including FoE, The Wildlife Trusts, The Woodland Trust etc. on Wednesday 26th June.
​
There's 3 parts of the lobby:
​
1. Sign up online - do this here whether you can make it on 26th or not
​
2. Mass gathering Parliament Square at 1pm on 26th, then..
​
3. Meet our MPs, by joining a huge line organised by region and constituency. We'll be telling our MPs that whilst the recent target to de-carbonise by 2050 is a good start, we urgently need a plan and short term targets for reaching this longer term aim.
​
Join members of St.Albans Friends of the Earth and thousands of others in Westminster to tell our MPs that #TheTimeIsNow to prevent climate breakdown and save our wildlife.
Along with people from other St.Albans groups we'll be catching the 12.13pm train from St.Albans City Station.
​
The main event is happening between 1 and 4pm.
​
Visit The Time is Now website to sign up. Email stalbansfoe@hotmail.com if you'd like us to look out for you on the 12.13 train on 26th.
