The Wave


UK climate negotiators are off to crucial talks in Copenhagen next week. And what better send-off than thousands of passionate people dressed in blue encircling Parliament. That's what our Peace & Justice committee at St Johns Seven Kings think and they will be meeting at the church at 9.30am on Saturday 5 December in order to travel into Central London together to take part.

We want our message of climate justice to be ringing in the governments' ears, reminding them to seal a strong and fair deal for the world's poorest people. That's why Tearfund, among others, are joining with the Stop Climate Chaos coalition for The Wave church service and march this Saturday, 5 December.

The day will look like this ...

11am: Church service at Central Hall, Westminster, SW1H 9NH, central London (opposite Westminster Abbey). From there we will walk together to join the march. Maps will be provided on the day.

1pm: March leaves Grosvenor Square. Assemble there if you can't make it to the service.

3pm: Encircling of parliament followed by tea and cakes with Tearfund at the Mothers Union, Mary Sumner House, 24 Tufton St, SW1P 3RB

Or join The Wave in Glasgow and Belfast city centre on the same day.

To get in the mood, why not take e-action from Tearfund's website. Also please pray for The Wave, the climate talks and the people most affected by climate change.

Oxfam say, "These marches are the best chance we have to tell the UK government and world leaders that we care about what is agreed at the climate change negotiations in Copenhagen this December."
