Join
Hunger for Survival
Thursday 17 December 2009
in Copenhagen and worldwide
“If not us, who?"
"If not now, when?”
On Thursday 17 December, one day before the Heads of State arrive to finalise the deal in Copenhagen, we are calling for all people, everywhere across the world, to join a single global day of fasting – voluntarily going without food – and personal reflection on the climate crisis, and what we as humanity need to do to solve it.
You can commit to join the international day of fasting and reflection by filling out the sign-up form below.
Now, we are done with trying to persuade politicians with debates and intellectual argument. They have heard it all already. Now they face a decision about what is simply morally right.
On Thursday 17th December, we will therefore not yell, but instead quiet our voices and raise up our hearts in silence, not telling our leaders what they should do, but instead use the historically symbolic and powerful act of the fast to ask our leaders to reflect on the gravity of the choices they are about to make.
Many notable environmental leaders, including Vandana Shiva, will also be joining us in this fast and moral call.
Together, we will fast voluntarily, for only one day, in solidarity with the millions who have and will lose their lives due to the preventable and involuntary hunger, disease and conflict resulting from climate change.
*Of course, there are some basic health guidelines that should be followed.*
A note on submitting this form:
When you have completed and submitted this form, the information about you and your fast will be posted on the About Us page within 48 hours. If you do not see your name posted under the flag of your country after 48 hours, please email here with your fasting plan / bio / attached photo, and it will be manually submitted! Thank-you.
