In February this year, the U.N. Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, said “2023 is a year of reckoning. We need disruption to end the destruction.”

Rising Tide organisers are touring the country to promote Rising Tide’s next national mobilisation: a 2-day, 3,000 strong, family-friendly flotilla The People's Blockade of the World's Largest Coal Port. This forum will discuss why we need this mass, disruptive movement and how we can build one that has the power to match the urgency of the climate crisis and achieve transformative change.

Speakers include:

• Ian Dunlop - Australian Security Leaders Climate Group and former chair of Australian coal association

• Rev. Moni Taumoepeau - Uniting Church Minister

• Clover Moore - Sydney Lord Mayor

• Jenny Leong - Greens member for Newtown

• Alexa Stuart - 19-year-old climate activist from Rising Tide Newcastle
