The People’s Blockade of the World’s Biggest Coal Port

This November, take positive action for a safe climate future in one of the largest peaceful civil disobedience protests in Australia’s history.

The event will occur on Awabakal and Worimi land and water, at Muloobinba (Newcastle, NSW).

We’re calling for thousands of people to gather and demand an immediate end to new coal projects and the end of coal exports from the world’s biggest coal port, by 2030.

It will be a fun and family-friendly weekend, with live music and speakers and food shared by donation.

Borrow one of our kayaks, or bring your own vessel – a kayak, tinny, yacht or surfboard!
Save the date. Details coming soon.

Why join this protest?
We’re in a climate emergency. The UN Secretary General said recently that “humanity is on thin ice, and that ice is melting fast.”

Newcastle coal exports are a climate issue of global significance. When burnt, the coal going through the port contributes nearly 1% of global emissions – almost as much as our entire domestic emissions combined.

Time is running out and we need to escalate our climate defence. We’ve blocked the port many times before, but for the first time ever we will be blockading for two consecutive days.
