Hide AdChris Baugh, a trade union delegate to the Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre Trades Union Council who has helped organise the meeting, said it was aimed at people looking for an alternative to the traditional Conservative and Labour parties.
He said: "We hope to build on the success of the campaign to stop fracking by campaigning for a climate jobs alternative.
"This could radically cut greenhouse emissions and create thousands of new, skilled, public, secure, climate jobs that could regenerate the area."
