Normal people really can change the world. 100 years ago the Suffragettes went to Parliament and demanded that their society change. They held a mass rally outside Parliament to which thousands came, before a number of them rushed into Parliament and got everyone's attention. We invite you all to celebrate the 100th anniversary of this world changing event. We invite you to celebrate when women got radical. Enjoy a rally and speeches in Parliament Square. Enjoy social change.

Come to Parliament Square at 5.30pm on Monday 13th October.
Why not dress in period costume, or one of our stewards will give you the Climate Rush sash.
If things are going to change we all need to get involved so we welcome everyone to join the fun. Inspirational women will speak. Rosie Boycott's confirmed and we're waiting to hear from a whole range of others. Check out the blog for updates.

At 6.25 we will walk to the statue of Emmeline Pankhurst in Victoria Tower Gardens where we can all take part in some street theatre.

We will present Gordon Brown with the latest climate research and our demands:

1. No airport expansion.
2. No new 'CCS ready' coal-fired power stations.
3. Create policy in line with the most recent climate science and research.
