Once clearing security we set up our march to deliver the call to action signed by over 545,000 Avaaz members worldwide. In front of the world's media we donned bright pink Avaaz t-shirts, pick up flags from around the world, and began marching with a banner that said: "Bali Virtual March - 545,000 for Climate, Avaaz.org". We did a circuit around the convention centre and then stopped for photos and interviews.
It was a fantastic day and we're delighted that our message has got through, but there's still so much more to do! Canada, the USA and Saudi are continuing their efforts to wreck the negotiating process. As we go into the last week of the conference, Avaaz members will play a critical role in shaping the governments' positions which will determine whether or not Bali is a bust or breakthrough. It's crucial we keep the momentum up!
Below, are some links to photos being used by the media!! In the coming days, we will post a video of the march courtesy of our good friends at Oxfam!
