[ZeroES.announce] Have you heard the buzz?

[Emma Kefford]

Dear ANU social justice and environment groups,

This is going to be a great conference in forming an Australia-wide front of 
youth organisations working against climate change.

Please try and come!

Emma.

"Have you heard the Buzz?"

It's been a long cold winter. And in the freezing offices of a few
youth organisations, on the lively patios of a few local pubs, in
front of late evening laptops and over burning lines of
teleconference, there is a new buzz. There is a new excitement. A new
movement is about to be born.

A small but passionate group of young Australians have got together,
shaking with excitement at the thought of the difference their
alliance can make. Our Vision: to build a coalition of youth and
youth-friendly groups that will work together to change the way
Australians act and think about climate change and climate justice.

While some politicians apparently think otherwise, climate change is
as hot as ever within the circles of young leaders. We have a bright
future in this country that won't be stolen by short-term thinking and
short lasting political will. We are getting together to build a choir
of strong voices, inspiring and encouraging our leaders to step up to
the plate and create innovative policies and actions that address
climate change effectively.

It's not too late to turn the political tide in Australia but we need
your voice, your energy, and your body in action to do it. If you are
involved with an Australian youth group or youth-friendly group that
believes climate change and climate justice are an issue for our
generation, we invite you to join us. An initial founding summit is
scheduled for November 20th-22nd in Melbourne, and you may be able to
attend if you apply before Friday November 3rd. The conference is free
and some travel scholarships are available.
