Invitation to the Northern Climate Rush — January 12th

On Mon­day 12th Jan­u­ary 2009 at 7pm the North­ern Cli­mate Rush will hit Man­ches­ter Air­port Ter­mi­nal 3 (Domes­tic Depar­tures).

Every­one is wel­come to join us. Come in Edwar­dian dress if you can (think long skirts, coats and tails, and sil­ly hats, all hid­den under a big coat!) with ham­pers of food to have our ‘Din­ner at Domes­tic Depar­tures’, to the strains of our very own string quar­tet! It will take place on the day that the MPs return from their win­ter hol­i­day, and at exact­ly the same time as the main Cli­mate Rush, at Heathrow.

Our protest will be against air­port expan­sion and domes­tic flights. In a time of reces­sion and cli­mate cri­sis, gov­ern­ment mon­ey should be spent on improve­ments to rail, trams, and bus­es, not on sub­si­dies and infra­struc­ture for the avi­a­tion indus­try.

We have wait­ed too long and been mis­led too many times. It is time for us to take con­trol and to lead social change.
