Australia

The climate movement is heating up down under. Check out this report from activist Anna Rose which appeared on itsgettinghotinhere.org...

Right now I’m feeling so excited and happy about what happened today in Newcastle, my hometown in Australia. Around 1,200 people today took direct action to stop the disastrous environmental impact of the world’s biggest coal port in Newcastle. The spirited and colourful protest was made up of a diverse mix of people including families, coal workers and activists … even some zombies, clowns, and radical cheerleaders. Many people made it on to the rail line - through or under the fence - and coal transport in Newcastle was shut down for the entire day. No coal trains got through.
