People's Spark: Igniting Climate Action at COP21
Anna R.

We are grateful to organize this event on unceded Lekwungen and WSANEC territories.
LOCATION CHANGE: We will now be holding the event at the legislature! (If everyone comes we simply too many people for the prior location!)
YOU are invited to join a collective, creative, non-violent direct action at 12:00 noon in front of the Legislature Building in Downtown Victoria. We will each carry a red cardboard flame, forming a moving, shifting inferno of human beings; together shining a light on the issue of climate change. Leading up to the event we will be having “flame-building-workshops” and we encourage people to think about the following question:
“What do you see as the solution(s) to climate change?”
These answers will be written on the other side of our bright flames, and we will be inspired by all our different world-views and solutions, and maybe even start conversations about what we can do as a group and as individuals now and in the time after COP21.
The question of climate change is big and complex, and this can make it difficult, and even depressing to think about, but you are not alone. This is our chance to come together, and start decreasing the gap between the world we have and the world we want.
We are the ones we have been waiting for, let us work together and ignite the movement!
