Come and take the next steps forward and be part of a newly energised movement in the fight to avoid catastrophic climate change.
In August of this year hundreds gathered near Selby to confront the UK’s biggest CO2 emitter: Drax Coal Power Station. The Camp for Climate Action was an inspiring 10 days of learning, sustainable living and direct action to challenge the causes of climate chaos.
There is already much enthusiasm for organising another Camp, come and get involved on 13th/14th January at ‘The Common Place’ in Leeds (see www.thecommonplace.org.uk for directions). Meetings will run Saturday 11am-5pm and Sunday 10am-6pm.
This project is still at its early stages and details such as when, where and how to organise the next Camp are to be decided at this meeting. Food and crash pad accommodation will be provided. Everyone will be asked for a donation of around £10 to cover costs. If you have particular access or childcare needs, or if would like more information contact leeds@climatecamp.org.uk.
Please spread the news far and wide. You can download a rather nice poster here: http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/resources.htm
Some of the neighbourhoods from last year’s camp are meeting in the meantime to generate ideas for the next camp and organise locally.
