ClimActs is an Australian protest theatre troupe using striking spectacle as well as satire to educate and communicate the urgency of acting on climate change. For over two years we’ve been appearing at rallies, backdropping or intercepting politicians, and protesting at fossil fuel headquarters to demand climate justice. We perform the following acts:

 

The Climate Guardians - Our founding act uses angel imagery to portend the dangers of government inaction on climate change as its threats continue to mount.

The Coal Diggers - Hazel Wood and Coral Bleach are prospectors in the Mineral/Beauty Fusion Industries and CO2s of BUMS (Billionaires United Mining Services)

The Flat Earth Institute - Medieval Astronomers from the Flat Earth Institute travel through time from the Universitarse of Climatastrophas (est. 1033AD)

The Frackers Guild - Grave robbing steampunk ‘resurrectionists’ that have been digging up the earth for centuries to profit from disinterring petrified cadavers and the occasional fossil (not to mention associated fuels).

Make your actions count!  CounterAct is a new project launched to support communities in taking effective, creative, strategic nonviolent direct action on issues of environmental and social justice.

CounterAct the corporate-government system with training and skills to grow your community or campaign.

In August 2012 it came to light that there exists over forty potential petroleum exploration sites off the coast of Arnhem Land.

 

We have formed a group consisting of local residents of Maningrida Community including Traditional Land Owners. 'Protect Arnhem Land' (PAL) is the name of the campaign we have launched with the intention of fighting for a just process for the people of Arnhem Land in relation to the new offshore mining permits and any future oil or gas proposals.

 

We are requesting a moratorium on all offshore oil, gas and mining exploration approvals until there is effective consultation with every Clan group in the geographic areas that are affected.

 

 

 

 

 

A project helping Australians keep their money out of environmentally destructive projects.

 

Market Forces was launched in January 2013 with the aim of helping individuals and communities prevent finance into environmentally destructive activities. Our philosophy is that change is the result of people power. So we have worked to make it as easy as possible for people to see their own financial connection to fossil fuels, and then remove as many barriers to taking action as possible. We want it to be empowering and enjoyable for people to take part in our campaigns. Most of all, we want to get results that mean positive outcomes for the environment. In just two years, our achievements include:

 

Revealing over $80 billion in bank loans to fossil fuel projects in Australia, and where superannuation funds worth hundreds of billions of dollars are invested in coal, gas and oil

Showing how our taxes are used to subsidise fossil fuels, and helping win a $1 billion cut to fossil fuel subsidies

Campaigning to get Deutsche Bank and HSBC to commit to not fund the expansion of the Abbot Point coal export port, which has led to many more European and US-based banks doing the same

Helping thousands of people shift nearly half a billion dollars out of fossil fuel funding banks

Profiling over 120 banks, mutuals and credit unions to show people the options available for where they can bank fossil fuel free

And we’ve been a major part of a movement that has put fossil fuel divestment well and truly on the map in Australia.

We reckon that’s a pretty decent list of achievements for a team that is now just four part time staff. But we’re only going to be able to continue this work if we can build a community of donors chipping in to sustain this project.

 

With just a small monthly donation, we can make millions of dollars worth of difference – it will be great to have you on board!

Donate to Market Forces

Market forces will expose how our money is being invested in environmentally damaging projects, and enable the community to take action that shifts investment towards projects that match our values.

The Public Transport Not Traffic campaign is a sustainable transport campaign mobilising organisations and individuals across Melbourne to seek priority political support and funding for public transport, instead of more freeway/tollway-building.

 

Instead of the East-West Road Link, which could cost Victorian taxpayers $14 billion, we insist our taxes be invested in world-class public transport infrastructure. Better public transport instead of another motorway will be better for Victoria's environment and greenhouse gas emissions, but also traffic congestion, our health, our society and our economy.

 

Friends of the Earth is a proud member of the Public Transport Not Traffic campaign.
