Are you a member of a trade or students union? If so, we need your help!

We want to build the widest possible coalition of forces to campaign for action on climate change. Involving our unions is an important part of this.

Proposing motions of affiliation to CCC is a good way of raising the issue, and of tapping into activist (and financial) support. If you've never proposed a motion to your union before it might seem scary. But don't be intimidated - the whole point of unions is to respond to the concerns of their members.

You can download some advice on how to get your Union to support the campaign here.

Union affiliation fees: National £250, Regional £100, Local £25.
