Mothers Rise Up is a grassroots movement fighting climate change through non-violent protest. It aims to pressure governments to declare a climate emergency and reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2030. The movement welcomes anyone who cares about children and the planet. It is organizing an international Mothers' Climate March on May 12th in Hyde Park Corner and seeking volunteers to help spread the word and organize local marches.

4. About Mothers Rise Up
“I’m not a mother in the traditional way, but
I am a carer and nurturer of many young
people in my life, and I am part of this
movement because I care for us all, because
it’s urgent, and because we need radical
care if we are to continue together on this
planet”
We welcome anyone who is moved by love for a child and by love for
our planet to protest.

5. What we want
The Government comes clean about the
existential threat of climate breakdown
and what it means for our children’s future
by declaring a climate emergency.
This will mean reducing carbon emissions
to net zero by 2030 or sooner and making
a just transition to a sustainable way of life.

“My knees buckled from under me
when I read the IPCC report. From that
grief I have found a relentless drive to
protect my child, our children, with
every ounce of energy I have left”
