WOE announce worldwide coordinated protests for Saturday
18th June 2020

Watchdogs of Our Earth (WOE), a direct-action group which is one of the members of Climate Alliance Lauchenoiria has announced that they will be coordinating protests in seven nations across the IDU on Saturday. The demonstrations will call for international action on climate change including global emissions targets and for a worldwide climate conference to take place this summer.

WOE, seen as the radical wing of Climate Alliance will coordinate with climate groups in Laeral, Eiria, LOM, Milintica, Tsiba and – controversially – Kerlile to organise demonstrations in the capital cities of each of these nations to call on their governments to come together and tackle climate change and biodiversity loss. Representatives of WOE will be travelling to involved nations, and it is thought that members of the wider Climate Alliance seek to join up with groups abroad to create a global climate activist organisation.

Jo Nuñez, a spokesperson for WOE told the Lauchenoirian Guardian: “Climate change is a global issue, and needs global solutions. We have been calling on the Lauchenoirian government to act, but their actions alone will not be enough. We must put pressure on the largest polluters, and create a global network of activists who are willing to stand up to the exploitative system that will destroy our planet.”

Since last year, Climate Alliance has been calling on the Lauchenoirian government to host a global climate conference to discuss targets nations across the IDU can agree to. Rumours have spread in recent weeks that the Lauchenoirian government may announce such a conference soon, following pressure from the new coalition partners of the Liberal Party, the Green-Pacifist Alliance.

WOE and affiliated organisations have reassured the governments of participating nations that they will remain peaceful and “within the boundaries of the laws of these countries”. The protests in Lauchenoiria, which will take place in Buttercity, Usera, Liaville and Summersea are all backed by the wider Climate Alliance organisation. In Lauchenoiria, protests will begin at 2pm on Saturday. Times in other nations may vary.
