14 Action Consensus Violence against and endangerment of living beings is rejected as a form of action and we will neither escalate nor engage in provocation. Damage of property will not be part of this action. We respect the personal boundaries of other activists. During and after the hike we will act in solidarity and support each other in the case of repression or legal issues. Our hike will convey an image of diversity, creativity and openness. We come from different social movements and political spectra. We take joint responsibility for the success of the hike. “ The public will know what our demands are because of the hike and climate justice will be a topic of conversation. Therefore we will do media outreach and photographers will accompany us on the hike.
