*[Enwl-eng] Poland's Climate Town

[ENWL]

Polish climate activists are taking their campaign to Warsaw to demand 
climate action from their government. They have the courage and the skills 
to make the case to their leaders. But the group is made up of volunteers, 
and they need support from the rest of us to get the resources to win.

Getting tough on climate change isn’t easy. It demands a lot from all of us. 
That’s especially true for Poland, because they rely so much on coal power. 
But without action from the Polish government, a European plan for tackling 
climate change won’t be effective.

Can you chip in to support our climate campaigning in Poland and to get the 
activists the resources they need to convince their government to take 
action on the climate emergency?

      I’ll donate €8
      I’ll donate €16
      I’ll donate €24
      I’ll surprise you!

Pushing governments to take action on climate change is vital in every 
country. But it is especially important in Poland right now. With all the 
financial support Poland should get from the EU green recovery plans, they 
have to also agree to more ambitious climate protection. Poland slowing down 
progress on tackling dangerous climate change is not just a threat to people 
in Poland, but across Europe as a whole.

The Polish climate activists have a plan for how to get leaders’ attention. 
Protestors will form a march organised into four coloured blocks, to 
symbolise love, hope, sorrow and rebellion. After they reach central Warsaw, 
they will gather into a camp - called Climate Town - where people will 
attend socially-distanced workshops and discussions on climate action.

The timing of the Polish protest couldn’t be better. Just a couple of days 
later, there’s a vital committee vote on the Climate Law, so the protest 
will remind Polish MEPs that European citizens want them to back ambitious 
goals on climate change. Plus, it will help persuade politicians to spend 
COVID19 recovery money on green priorities.

Please give what you can to support climate campaigns and the activists 
taking the lead on climate action, in Poland, and throughout Europe:

      I’ll donate €8
      I’ll donate €16
      I’ll donate €24
      I’ll surprise you!

Now, Polish climate activists need support from all over Europe to get their 
message covered in the media - where it will be impossible for politicians 
to ignore. They need the materials to make powerful banners, and resources 
to make sure television cameras are there to see the crowds at the march. 
None of it is expensive - but it can’t be done for free.

Can you help out, to give Polish climate activists the boost they need to 
win the campaign?

With hope,
