Real change starts in our communities
It’s time to unite around action. Ahead of elections in England and Wales, we are shining a light on the positive local action within our communities. From harnessing the sun’s energy to power streets and schools, to resisting cuts to climate action - together, we can put the smart, simple solutions that benefit people and our planet at the top of the political agenda. And you can help.
We’ve had enough of hate, division and climate denial
Our politics is fuelled by anger and frustration. People with power tell us our society is broken. They say some of us aren’t welcome. They want to scrap climate action - even as our towns flood and our food bills rise because farmers can’t grow crops. But hate and division won’t help pay our bills.
We have developed 10 policy asks aimed at getting real solutions on the political agenda.
- Protect our community from extreme weather
- Say yes to projects that reduce emissions
- Plant more trees and improve green spaces
- Help local farmers adapt to more extreme weather
- Welcome refugees and migrants
- Lower energy bills and warmer homes
- Better public transport and healthy air
- More local green jobs and training for young people
- More resilient communities
- Local climate solutions funded by wealthy polluters
So it's time to forget the anger and division - and believe in hope and action that brings people together.
