About Draw the Line
Draw the Line is a call to action to take our future back into our hands.
Floods, droughts, storms, and heatwaves are getting worse. Food and energy costs are going up while a few billionaires profit and prop up the industries that harm people and pollute our lands, air and waters.
Indigenous leaders from the Amazon to the Pacific have spoken out: our future is at stake. To solve the climate crisis, the answer is us — the people.
Their words are now echoing around the world. From mass rallies to strikes, walkouts and artistic interventions, this September we will come together to draw the line against injustice, pollution, and violence – and for a future built on peace, clean energy, and fairness.
This world is ours. This is our line to draw.
Get Involved
Whether you're a long-time activist or a newcomer, you’re not alone. We’re here to support you every step of the way. Let's draw the line together!
What's Draw the Line?
Draw the Line is a global week of events, leading up to a weekend of actions on September 19-21, 2025. Ordinary people across the world will come together in a massive show of strength, resistance and celebration to demand real, decisive and urgent action from world leaders.

Why September 2025?
In September, world leaders will meet at the UN General Assembly in New York. Six weeks later, they’ll meet again in Brazil for the UN climate summit (COP30). The world needs real action for justice, now – this is our moment to speak up and push them to do more!
What we do now will decide our future. The next five or ten years will define if we manage to keep global heating to a safe level or cross a point of no return – putting not only our planet, but us all in distress.
But instead of taking action, many governments are going backwards. They’re taking away people’s rights, breaking climate promises, and letting big fossil fuel companies keep polluting. Billionaires keep getting richer, while we are stuck paying higher prices for food, rent, and energy and facing the worst of climate impacts.
We need 2025 to be a turning point – for clean energy, peace, and fairness. Let’s make sure our voices are heard!

What kind of action can I organize?
There will be a variety of actions using the concept of drawing a line against [something bad] and/or for [something good]. Some examples:
• Human line
• Drawing a chalk or paint line on the streets
• Holding long banners or cards to form a line together, physically or virtually
These are just some ideas. You're welcome to use your creativity and imagination! We will soon release a toolkit with more action ideas too.
Mass petitions, banner actions, marches, sit-ins, walkouts and community parties are also welcome.
