The Climate Rush is a group of gallant women and intrepid men who will act now to save the world. Climate change is the greatest threat that humanity has encountered but we remain undaunted. We will use our knowledge, our hearts and our imaginations for fun and creative interventions to empower a mass movement to realise change. We take our inspiration from the Suffragettes and from all past movements that have redefined the world. They did it before and we can again: we will use their spirit, strategy and perseverence to create the change we need. Gone are the days of relying on distant and disempowering party politics. The problems that we face are too grave and too difficult for the clunking political machine, New Labour spin and Etonian posturing to solve. The only solution will come from us: groups of people acting with our full human spirit - a radical spirit of the change.

Last year on 13th October 1000 women in sashes, men in costume and colourful creatures of all shapes and forms gathered in Parliament square. We were celebrating the centenary of the Suffragette Rush. After hearing inspirational speeches from Rosie Boycott, Joy Greasely (Women's Institute), Caroline Lucas MEP and more these Edwardian-decked women broke police lines, lightly vaulted makeshift barriers and rushed towards the doors of Parliament. Our fists banged against their closed doors and our Suffragette chants resounded through the Chamber as civil servants peered nervously through windows above - DEEDS NOT WORDS, DEEDS NOT WORDS. Our demands? No new coal power stations, an immediate stop to all airport expansion, and 80% reductions in carbon by 2050.

Now, with our third demand duly granted, and everything hanging in the balance for the first two, we are back in town and raring to go.
