At the end of the hottest year in human history, a Rising Tide of 3,000 everyday people shut down the World’s Largest Coal port for an unprecedented 32 hours in Newcastle, Australia.

Revisit the epic 2023 People’s Blockade with exclusive footage from the beach, the water, and the sky – and hear from the inspiring and dedicated Rising Tide organisers and blockaders.

About Rising Tide: Rising Tide is building an unstoppable mass movement for climate defence, we are a diverse movement demanding Australia honours our commitment to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement; that means stopping all new coal and gas projects. We are prepared to take whatever peaceful actions are within our power to defend the climate.
