There will be
an ecosocialist bloc, probably as part of the Climate Justice bloc, but look
out for our banner pictured at the end of this post.
There is a
second major demonstration taking place on the same day in London, 11:30 AM
– 5 PM, assemble outside the Bank of England, in the City of London. Again
look out for our banner pictured at the end of this post. There is a Facebook
events page here.
The decisions
made at COP26 will shape how governments respond (or not) to the climate
crisis. They will decide who is to be sacrificed, who will escape and who will
make a profit. COP26 is happening at a crucial moment in history.
Across the
world and across movements, we are seeing a new wave of resistance, global
solidarity and grassroots organising. We have a unique opportunity to rewire
our system as we recover from the pandemic. We can either intensify the crisis
to the point of no return, or lay the foundations for a just world where
everyone’s needs are met.

A public statement
about COP26 will be released by the Ecosocialist Alliance on 24 October.
Come and join
us at one of the events. Ecosocialism not Extinction!
