[Cc-webedit] The swoop

[Jonathan Stevenson]

Yes there's definitely some confusion and we definitely need to get the 
Swoop up on the front page. See below for the text that Process has been 
sent by the Swoop group. I suggest we do three things:

1) For the front page so it doesn't detract from publicising the Camp as a 
whole we just have a big button saying 'Summer Swoop, Wednesday 26 August' 
in big white letters on a blue background on the right hand side of the 
centre column at the top, which links through to the info about the swoop. I 
can make this tonight. Maybe until then we could just put 'Summer Swoop, 
Wednesday 26 August >>' as a quick text link at the top?

2) We rename the SMS sign-up page, which is already up and called 'The 
Swoop' in the left hand menu, as 'Text updates', as with the G20. We change 
the short to www.climatecamp.org.uk/swoop-updates. We ask Summer Swoop to 
change the link through from the Facebook Group to sign up for updates to 
this.

3) We add the text below on a new page in the Climate Camp 2009 section, 
called 'The Swoop'. This links through to the SMS sign-up page. The short 
URL is http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/swoop, so it won't be a problem for the 
Facebook link to go through to that in the interim.

If this can be done today that would be amazing, as we need to send it out 
as an email to the newsletter list.

CAMP FOR CLIMATE ACTION 2009: Prepare to Swoop!

On Wed 26th August, the Camp for Climate Action will take back the city of
London in a massive public swoop. Everyone is welcome to join us, as we
converge on the secret location where the camp will rise. This summer,
we are swooping together, and together we will transform a part of London
into the physical manifestation of our desired worlds.

WHAT: We'll get ready to swoop from scattered locations around London. We'll
be roaming about, seeing who we can pick up along the way.

There'll be twists, turns, sneaking and outreaching. Then when the time is
right, you'll receive a message revealing the secret location of the camp,
and the race will be on!

WHEN: Be ready and waiting in London, from 12 noon on Wed 26th August.

WHERE: We'll gather at multiple, as yet undisclosed meeting points around
the city. Subscribe to the climate camp newsletter and the SMS service to
find out where the meeting points will be...

SMS SERVICE: http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/swoop

NEWSLETTER: https://lists.riseup.net/www/subrequest/climatecamp

...and join the facebook swoop group.

For now, we'll have to keep you in the dark a little. But it's going to be
amazing, so make sure you get signed up!

HOW: The exact location of the camp will be announced in three different
ways. Sign up to the text message service, or if you can get twitter on your
phone, join http://twitter.com/climatecamp . We'll also send an email to the
climate camp email list.

WHO: Everyone is welcome, and even if you've never been to a climate camp,
you'll find it easy to join in! To be successful we need massive numbers, so
please arrive with as many of your friends as possible.

Tell everyone you know! The camp is organised into neighbourhoods, and your
neighbourhood is probably already planning to swoop together, so check
out...

...to contact people in your area.

As global disaster looms, politicians and financiers are falling over each
other to resuscitate the same doomed economic system that has driven us to
the edge of environmental meltdown. Join us in taking action for climate
justice!
