Help create the biggest and loudest NO the world has ever seen!
The campaign against Heathrow expansion is already huge; there've been rallies, direct actions, flash mobs and an incredible 70,000 responses to the consultation (more on that shortly).
But an agenda for colossal airport expansion and colossal climate change demands a colossal response, and we want to make sure the plans to expand Heathrow receive the biggest and loudest NO the world's ever seen. Literally. A great big NO spelt out by human bodies, which we'd like to set a new world record as the biggest and loudest NO in the world.
And we'd like you to be a part of it. You're invited to a carnival on Saturday 31st May, which will make its way from Hatton Cross Tube Station (Piccadilly Line, 12pm) to Sipson, the village that will be wiped out if Heathrow expansion goes ahead. At the end, you'll have the chance to help form the giant NO before hearing from speakers sending the message to the government that the proposals simply can't go ahead.
The carnival comes ahead of the government's verdict on Heathrow, due in June or July. The government is wobbling over the decision and we want to make sure it feels the full weight of public opposition. While BAA doesn't need much help in proving its own incompetence, there's still a danger that the government will hand over significant control of the future of the planet to a company that has trouble looking after our hand luggage.
It's not just a NO to Heathrow expansion; it's a no to increased climate change, to increased noise and pollution, and to homes being destroyed.
So we, along with HACAN Clear Skies, NoTRAG, 2M (representing local authorities and four million people across London) and the Campaign Against Climate Change, are inviting you to get involved. The official make-a-noise.org website will be launching soon, although you can already sign up for emails about the carnival.
And, if you haven't already, you can still write to Gordon Brown and join the Stop Heathrow Expansion group on Facebook, where all event details and updates will be posted.
