Mothers Rise Up - Edinburgh

Elizabeth Cripps: Parenting on Earth Join Elizabeth Cripps as she talks about her new book Parenting on Earth

Hi all - parents from around the UK will be joining the march in Glasgow on 6 Nov. Would be wonderful to see lots of Edinburgh families there! Details in the flyer...

We've been a bit quiet for a while but are back now.

We're organising a family friendly gathering on the Meadows on Sunday 22 March, Mother's Day (mother earth, if you will...). Planning on having Ceilidh music and some arts and crafts* to keep young and older folk entertained.

More info to follow however please get in touch here if you're interested in helping with the crafting - or more generally in helping make the event happen!

*Very specifically, making paper wind turbines!

Hi all - I have an update on tomorrow from discussion with the strike organisers. Anyone marching with young kids should congregate a bit north of the Meadows on Middle Meadow Walk (the grassy bit opposite Soderberg (previously Peter's Yard)). March leaves at 11:30, so meeting at least 15 minutes before then! Hope to see lots of you then!

Hoping that many of you and your little people will be joining the Climate Strike on Friday 20th! No firm details yet on whether the organisers would like a block of younger strikers towards the front but if we hear back about a place to convene, we’ll be sure to let you know!

Some more photos from a fantastic afternoon on the Royal Mile. (This time thanks to Dorota Markowska.) Next stop: the Global Climate Strike on 20 Sept!

What an inspiring couple of hours! Thank you all so much for coming. Here are some pics by the fab Tanya de Villiers.

A bit about Mothers Rise Up:
We are a fast growing movement of ordinary mums who are worried sick about the climate crisis. We are inspired by young people who are striking for climate action. But we can’t leave it to our children to fix a mess that past generations have created.
