Counting on … Day 59

9th May 2025

Another way of demonstrating the collective power of individuals, is through a march or a vigil. Christian Climate Action regulalry organises vigils in different parts of the UK, usually outside a significant building such as both the UK and Scottish Parliaments, branches of Barclays Bank, Shell’s HQ, Lloyds of London. The focus of these vigils is both to pray for change and to public ally highlight that need for change. 

Other campaigning groups organise both marches and rallies  – this July a large number of different climate and nature focuses groups will be joining for a mass lobby outside Parliament to press for the enactment of the Climate and Nature Bill – https://greenchristian.org.uk/act-now-change-forever-lobby-of-parliament/

Participating in such events is a good way for us to show collectively how many people are concerned about the climate and biodiversity crises.
