Ir you give a damn, find a functional group
Our "leaders" are going to keep making empty promises. It makes them feel good. It gets the activists to act like zombie kittens.

One useful group might be www.climateemergencymanchester.net - you can email them on contact@climateemergencymanchester.net-
