Manchester Declares a Climate Emergency!

Bring banners, flowers and supportive songs! 🍃🌸🎉

Background info:

Declaring a Climate Emergency is one of XR’s key three demands (because we can’t begin to tackle the crisis until the authorities acknowledge the scale of it).

The UK Parliament (but not the government) and the Welsh Assembly have declared along with scores of others towns and cities across the UK.

Campaign groups have been calling for Manchester to join Trafford in declaring an emergency (and the University Of Manchester did so just this week).
