KYOTO
MARCH: Saturday May 15th
2004
Time to stand up for the environment
Time to make a stand against Bush
The Kyoto March is an annual event that allows
people to get together and onto the streets to sound
the alarm about the accelerating deterioration of the global
environment and in particular the huge threat posed by the catastrophic
destabilisation of global climate. It is a chance
to make a stand against those with the greatest power who are most
to blame: currently George W Bush and his backers
in the US fossil fuel industry, who sabotaged the world's
efforts to deal with global climate change by dumping the
Kyoto treaty now 3 years ago. Our event marks the anniversary
of that greatest of environmental crimes.
Our event includes
1/ A 'Long March' from Exxon-Mobil HQ, near Leatherhead,
Surrey, 20 miles to the US embassy, central London. Starts 7.oo
am - but you can join anwhere en route (or leave the march,
leapfrog ahead by tube/train and join again, etc..): for timetable
and and 'night-before' accomodation near the start see below.
ExxonMobil is the world's largest oil company and Bush's principal
anti-Kyoto corporate backer : it has been waging a cynical war
of disinformation on climate change, for many years. See
www.stopesso.com.
2/ Rally at the Imperial War Museum, 3.30 pm for
the main march (last leg of the 'Long March') through central
London to the US embassy.
3/ Speeches and 'DINOSAUR PARTY' at the US embassy, from
5.30 pm. The dinosaurs in the White House and the US fossil
fuel industry, with very large bank accounts but very
small brains, are taking all of us the way of the dinosaurs.
Join us for some MASS-EXTINCTION fun !
