The Fossil Free Convergence is a 3-day national gathering of students and their allies from across the country.
Held in the iconic Blue Mountains from 10-13th March, it’s an opportunity to celebrate our wins, take stock of where we are, and launch into a year of new and bold strategies to sever the ties between our universities and the fossil industry.
For young people today, climate change is a fight for survival. We dream of a future with rich and fulfilling lives, but this requires a safe climate – and this is being stolen from us now by the fossil fuel industry and our government. Worst of all, our universities are complicit in this.
We are a network of student led groups across the country fighting for a fossil free university and a fossil free future, and we’ve had key successes along the way. But we won’t win the broader struggle for climate justice unless we organise and mobilise a whole generation of students to join us in taking action.
We have to turn this network into a movement. And this movement must be powerful enough to break the ties between our universities and the industry that’s taking away our future.
Whether it was Civil Rights or the Vietnam War, throughout the 20th century students have lead the way in creating deep and lasting change. We are millennials, and climate change is the defining challenge of our generation.
It’s time for us to take charge. Let’s lead the way.
