On one fine Newcastle day, two thousand people gathered from across the country to participate in a collective resistance to the industries fuelling climate change, at one of its most important sites; the world’s biggest coal port.In a spectacular display of people power, diverse groups blocked the coal port shipping channel, the only coal train line and occupied coal loaders with a common call to end the era of coal.The Pacific Climate Warriors returned to Newcastle with their declaration: ‘we are not drowning, we are fighting!’. Listen in to the sounds of Break Free.This show is #1035 and was produced by Gem Romuld.
