As we face into the Climate Emergency, it seems many around us have their heads in the sand, afraid to face the reality of what is coming. Taking action to bring about change is the only way forward for the future of our planet.
To highlight the futility of the heads in sand approach, we will gather with as many people as possible on Manly beach (Ocean Side).
On the beach, we will dig a hole in the sand big enough to be able to fit our heads in and still breath. At a coordinated time, everyone will simultaneously put their head in the sand for a given duration (1 min). In the background, Extinction Rebellion Banners are held.
Join us for this peaceful, family friendly action. Bring a picnic to relax with your fellow rebels afterwards.
What to bring:
– a tool to dig with if you are not keen on hand digging
– a towel to put in the hole if you want to avoid sandy hair
– a picnic for afterwards
Where to meet:
Meet at the shelter directly in front of you as you exit Wentworth St and cross to the beach https://goo.gl/maps/FTVRfsuZazdyNEvi6
See you there Friday 11th October at 12.30pm for a 1pm head burial. Bring your best XR t-shirts, badges, hats, paraphernalia..
