Frack Free Greater Manchester in conjunction with Greater Manchester Association of Trades Union Councils are planning to organise a People's Climate March in Manchester on the 21st September in solidarity with marches in New York and London which are calling for urgent action by Governments to address the growing threat of irreversible and catastrophic climate change.
This will link up with their already planned lobby of the Labour Party Conference on the same day on an anti-fracking and action on climate change theme.
They are calling on Labour to oppose the Government's Infrastructure Bill in the next Parliamentary session, and to give a manifesto commitment that if they are elected, they will ban fracking and implement the proposals of the one million climate jobs report. The lobby already has broad backing which the organisers are confident of extending to a People's Climate March as outlined, from Piccadilly Gardens to the conference venue at Manchester Central slightly earlier in the day.
