Rising Tide is a brand that represents a rising movement of ordinary people in extraordinary times. Committed to honoring Australia's commitment to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement, Rising Tide is a diverse group demanding urgent action on climate change. They are prepared to take peaceful actions to defend the climate and prevent catastrophic tipping points.

Rising Tide believes that half measures will not prevent catastrophe and stands with frontline communities for climate justice. They support First Nations people who resist coal and gas mining on their lands and advocate for urgent action from wealthy nations like Australia. To overcome the coal and gas lobby's control of democracy, Rising Tide believes in the power of civil resistance.

They target Newcastle coal port, the world's largest, as a symbol of their fight against climate change. Rising Tide's demands include canceling new coal mines, stopping all coal mining and exports through Newcastle Port by 2030, and ensuring a just transition beyond coal. They aim to change the narrative by amplifying frontline voices and disrupting fossil fuel propaganda.

Through conversations and personal stories, they seek to grow a movement for climate defense. They believe in building momentum through diverse actions and training, utilizing creativity and civil disobedience to draw attention to their cause. Rising Tide's core values include justice, care, community, nonviolence, and impact.

They acknowledge and respect the First Peoples of the lands they live and work on, offering solidarity to Elders past and present. If you want to join their cause, you can find out more about their Climate Defence Pledge on their website
