‘Raise Your Voice Now’
To do that will require building even greater power, with more people coming to the ramparts. And reinforcements are needed given that time to draw down emissions at the scale needed is getting short and world leaders have not gotten the message.
“Things are not moving quickly enough,” Jo-ann Dodd, an Australian activist who saw her neighbors’ homes consumed by the 2019-20 bushfires, said. “We can’t ignore their inaction. The longer that they dither, the closer each of us are to losing someone we love or our homes to a climate disaster. It’s our duty as citizens … and people who love their communities to actually step up and take action. Join one of the big groups. Join one of the small groups. Create your own group if there’s nothing else. But you need to get out there and raise your voice now because in not many years from now, it will be too late.”
