#ScotlandsClimateMarch is organised by a coalition with a shared vision of a better world. March with us on 15 Nov in Glasgow. Join the Make them Pay bloc: www.facebook.com/events/20384...

nature protection and for a transition that creates jobs and fights poverty.

We are stronger when we connect our issues and demand justice alongside each other.

#ScotlandsClimateMarch

Scotland’s Climate March is bringing people together to push for the transformative action we need.

People want warm homes, decent buses and green jobs in our communities.

Thousands take to streets of Glasgow to highlight 'climate emergency' Demonstrators marched through Glasgow city centre on a day of global action to coincide with the COP30 climate talks in Brazil.

Today we marched in our thousands to say a better world IS possible!

We proved that the energy and enthusiasm to make transformative change happen is there.

We know that the challenges we face, from Glasgow to the Amazon to Palestine, are all deeply connected.

A better world is possible – and you showed up in huge numbers to demand it!🔥

We marched, chanted, sang, listened and learned together.

We know that we are stronger when we connect our issues and demand justice alongside each other.

Onwards!
