Organise actions
Politicians will continue to bury their head in the sand, if we don’t pull on their tails.
More and more Indigenous Peoples, local communities, climate justice groups and civil initiatives around the world are countering airport projects and aviation. They defend, demonstrate, organise creative interventions, do flash mobs and direct actions – join them and show that people can take matters into their own hands!
