Climate, war, inequalities… Saturday, a march for the future in Toulouse
It is an act of hope that is organized this Saturday, April 9 through a demonstration in Toulouse. A walk for the future will take place from 2 p.m. at the Prairie des Filtres in order to fight against the resignation that the current context may inspire.
War in Ukraine, climate and health crises, soaring inequalities, rising hate speech There are many reasons for discouragement and paralysis. A few days before the presidential election, they want us to believe that history has already been written. But the next chapter will not be written without us,” said the organizers of the event.
Organized on the eve of the presidential election
April 9, a key date since the eve of the first round of thepresidential election, an examination obviously crucial for the future of the country. It is this date that the collective at the origin of the event has chosen, “to make the next five years those of justice, climate, equality and peace, to finally find ourselves and carry high and strong our values, those of a fair and sustainable world.”
The march for the future is carried across the whole of France. Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille, Lyon, Strasbourg or even Amiens… In total, 78 such events are organized in the country this Saturday, April 9. Several local associations and collectives have joined the Toulouse action: Youth for Climate, We all, green peaceExtinction Rebellion or Attac…
The organizers hope to go beyond a march and create “a human chain of 3 kilometers”, which would connect the prairie of Filters to the Capitol. Note that a picnic is organized before the event, from 12 noon.
