Climate Day of Action, Coventry

Join us in Coventry for Christian Aid's Climate Change Day of Action on 19 March 2009 and speak out against E.ON's coal-fuelled power plans.

Christian Aid’s Countdown to Copenhagen movement is continuing to build momentum as December’s vital talks in Copenhagen grow ever closer.(Find out more about our Campaign here:  http://www.christianaid.org.uk/ActNow/Countdown-to-Copenhagen-climate-change/Index.aspx )

Join us and our friends from CAFOD, the World Development Movement and the Stop Climate Chaos coalition as we reflect on the scale of our task, rally more support – and send a powerful message to electricity giant, E.ON.
