To Political Party Leaders:
Our country is broken. For too long politicians have chosen the interests of big business over ordinary people. We're sick of getting poorer, whilst companies trash the natural world and line their pockets from our inflated bills.
We face many crises - climate, cost of living, energy security, inequality and the challenges to our economy. The clear solutions to them all lie in more ambitious climate policy, not less.
We're joining together to demand a safe climate and a future where the next generations can flourish. You have to invest in good quality, affordable homes powered by cheap and clean renewable energy. We want safer, quieter streets and cleaner air through reliable and accessible public transport. And you must restore our nature-depleted land - this is vital for our food security and to ensure young people inherit a country rich in wildlife.
We have the answers, what's lacking is your political leadership.
Fossil fuels need to become a thing of the past. That means no new oil and gas and no more unjust profits for fossil fuel bosses. The biggest polluters must be taxed for the destruction they're causing to our planet. And workers in polluting industries must be supported into good green jobs.
We will judge you at the next election, you have to step up. Securing a liveable planet hinges on actions taken by the end of this decade. The failure of successive governments has got us into this current mess, but your decisive actions can get us out of it.
A brighter future for all is within our grasp if you are bold and brave enough to deliver it.
We are fighters, we are voters and we demand better.
With power and unity,
