To Minister President Laschet of North Rhine-Westphalia, and the German Federal Government:

We urge you to stop clearing the Hambach forest immediately -- this is the moment that Germany must take a bold stand to put the future of our planet before corporate profit. We call on you to set an example for the world by phasing out coal by 2030. Start it now and do it fairly, with support for displaced workers and communities.

Join the final stand to save the Hambach forest!

Coal giant RWE is about to chop down the 12,000-year old Hambach forest to extend Europe’s biggest coal mine -- but the movement to save the forest is growing by the minute!

Brave activists are holding out in the trees, but thousands of police are trying to drag them down -- the final stand is 48 hours away.

This Saturday, thousands of us will take to the streets and march in a massive showing of public support for the forest and the activists. This is a real people power moment to end Germany’s coal addiction -- and it all rests with one man.

State Minister-President Laschet is feeling the heat and if we pile on now, we can get him to back down and protect the forest. Sign the urgent call, and then join the march this Saturday -- are you in?
