URGENT : Civil Society Delegates Marching Out of
COP 15 Bella Center

WHAT: HUNDREDS MARCH OUT OF BELLA CENTER  - HAPPENING NOW

An array of civil society, delegates and negotiating parties
representing a global alliance of both north and south civil society groups,
people's movements, indigenous representatives and even some governments
have begun a dramatic protest today disrupting the inside of the Bella
Center.

WHO: Scores/Hundreds of representatives gathered in the central hall and
loudly marched out of the Bella Center in protest.

The march is headed out to join the thousands of people who have been
excluded outside and participate in the Peoples' Assembly which is a
centerpiece of today's Reclaim Power action.

WHY: "The surgical removal of non governmental organizations underscores the
lack of democracy inherent in these negotiations." said Professor Micheal
Dorsey, a member of the Climate Justice Now! Network. "The United Nations
process has systematically failed the world's marginalized countries and
consistently excludes those that would dare support and fighton behalf of
those countries. The only way to avoid catastrophic climate change is fully
supporting and including peoples movements like the very ones illegitimately
removed from this process."

Today we are seeing thousands of people joining together to fight for
climate justice," said Natalie Swift, a spokeperson with Climate Justice
Action. "We need systems change to create a world which is truly just and
sustainable and solve the climate crisis."
