“These parties cannot claim that they are trying because they are clearly not, as they continue to write manifestos that identify the correct challenges but then do not go far enough to meet the goals they set out, approve of monstrous buildings to be built, and do nothing to improve the transport system,” the rally event description reads.

“They are also pretending to have ambitious climate policies while prioritizing the government’s own, short-term needs and shamelessly congratulating themselves while still failing to come up with plans of action to reach their own targets,” it said.

“If this is what they consider to be climate action, then we don’t want it.”

With calls to “bulldoze the bullshit” and to give “power to the people” and “someone to vote for”, the climate rally is hoping to shed light on what really matters.

XR is also promising to hold politicians accountable, especially when making use of terms such as a “green economy” and “climate neutral” which are often loosely thrown around as buzz words.

“We will hold you accountable for your action, or rather inaction,” it said. 

XR also called for people to prepare their placards and banners and circle the date in their calendar, so they can attend the rally and make their voices heard.
