On Saturday 5 December 2009, the UK’s biggest ever demonstration in support of action on climate change will flood the streets of central London, ahead of crucial UN climate talks in Copenhagen.
The Wave, a carnival-style street procession beginning at 12pm from Grosvenor Square in London, is being organised by the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition and supported by NUS. The Mexican wave will encircle the Houses of Parliament at 3pm on the 5th December.
Join NUS in this monumental event and register for the march below.
The wave may be in December but you can show your support today. Hundreds of individuals have already submitted videos of their own Mexican waves in support of the march.
Submit your own Mexican wave video here.
The Wave is encouraging people to follow the theme by wearing blue clothing and bringing blue fabric, banners and props. From blue dragons in Wales, to student ‘wave dance’ flashmobs, blue handprints in schools to ‘wheels to the wave’ cycle network, The Wave is already building from all corners of the UK.

NUS Vice President for Society and Citizenship, Susan Nash, said: "NUS is proud to unite with the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition for the global march on the 5 December. Students and young people have played a central role in the fight against destructive climate change, and we urge the UK government to listen to our calls for a fair deal at Copenhagen."
The Stop Climate Chaos Coalition represents 11 million members across 100 UK organisations, from the Women’s Institute and RSPB to Oxfam and Unison.
