SUE JACKSON Therapist | Writer | Photographer | Activist

An avid blogger for the last fifteen years, I believe in the power of the word to change the world. I have participated in, and reported on, a range of protests during this period, including the successful East-West Link campaign and, more recently, our wonderful, home-grown Extinction Rebellion (XR). If you believe, like I do, that it is time for ordinary people to rise up in defence of the planet, I encourage you to explore this blog, share it with your networks, and – of course – take action.

The School Strike for Climate in the Treasury Gardens this afternoon was huge. The Unions were there, as was XR, the Climate Choir, politicians, the media, teachers, parents, grandparents and others.

But of course the stars of the day were the school students. Both secondary and primary, from schools all over Melbourne and beyond, they were there in their thousands. Representatives spoke with passion of their determination to fight for a better world, and they received tremendous support from the audience.
