#TheTimeisNow. Sign up for the first virtual mass lobby of MPs on 30th June 

https://www.theclimatecoalition.org/thetimeisnow

Last year The Time Is Now involved the biggest ever mass lobby for climate, nature and people. 12,000 people from all walks of life travelled to Westminster to talk to their MPs about how the UK needs to tackle climate change and nature’s decline.

This year it has to be different. On 30th June we want to come together again, this time for a virtual lobby, again asking MPs to put people, climate and nature at the heart of our nation’s recovery.

The UK is at a turning point. As we build back from the current health crisis, we have the opportunity to rebuild a resilient economy that benefits everyone in society and tackle climate change and nature’s decline, creating jobs and protecting the most vulnerable in the UK and around the world. Or we can let the moment for change pass us by, go back to old ways and wait for new crises to hit.

Using our voices to call for action is more important than ever. Have a virtual cup of tea with your MP on Tuesday 30 June and tell them that #TheTimeIsNow to put a healthy, greener, fairer future at the heart of plans to rebuild from the Coronavirus crisis.
