    An invitation to all those worried about the climate emergency to pedal to parliament this Sunday.

    As some of you here might know, the Scottish parliament is set to vote on its new climate bill between the 18th and the 25th of June. At the moment government recommendations are to reach -70% green house gas emissions by 2030 and net zero by 2045.
    This is simply not enough!
    With mass action we have the power to instigate deep societal change.

    Which is why Extinction Rebellion Scotland have organised a Rebel camp outside the Scottish Parliament between the 16th and 20th of June. To pressure our politicians, engage in outreach, share performances, and partake in workshops.

    On Sunday the 16th, rebels from Glasgow are cycling through to the Rebel Camp at 9.30am. Meeting in George square in Glasgow.

    We will be meeting other like-minded cyclist on the meadows in Edinburgh at about 4:30pm.

    We will then all cycle to parliament together, where some of us will stay to camp.

    Please consider joining us as together we can bring about change. (Also a great group to have a fun cycle ride with!)

    I'm tempted to get the train to Glasgow and join you on the cycle through to Edinburgh - I need to make up my miles this week after not cycling much due to the weather anyway...

    All laziness permitting, of course ;)
