> 5) THE NEW WEBSITE
>
> The website group is working away on our exciting new website which will
> be ready before camp. We need your help in three specific ways:
>
> 1) A questionnaire has gone around to all working groups and
> neighbourhoods. The deadline for submissions has passed, but we still want
> your answers - get them in! It is particularly important that you decide
> who your website spoke is and let us know.
>
> 2) The new website will feature a BLOG. We need keen writers to form a
> team and make sure there is a steady stream of content going up in order
> to keep visitors coming back for more!
>
> 3) We also need CONTENT EDITORS who will take on editing and keeping tabs
> on the website generally, and chasing working groups /
> neighbourhoods to update their sections when necessary.
>
> Email thoughts, comments, questions, enthusiasm and (particularly) offers
> for help to website at climatecamp.org.uk
>
> ***********************************************************
>
> 6) NEIGHBOURHOOD MEDIA PACK NOW ONLINE
>
> As announced at the last National Gathering, the media team is really up
> for helping campers across the country in getting stories in local press
> in the run up to camp. This is a really quick and easy way for local
> networks and the camps to get lots of media coverage.
>
> To help with this we've produced a Neighbourhood media pack, which is now
> online at: http://www.climatecamp.org.uk/press.
>
> There's all sorts of information in the Neighbourhood pack - from
> Indymedia to The Independent, from The Times to Twitter - so click on the
> link, have a read of the pdf, and get cracking!
>
> If you're neighbourhood wants an extra hand getting started with local
> media work, feel free to contact press at climatecamp.org.uk and we'll see
> what skills we can share.
>
> That's all for now,
> your friendly media team
>
> ***********************************************************
>
> 7) MEDIA TEAM MEETING - 2 AUG
>
> The next Media Team meeting will happen next Sunday the 2nd August, 1-5pm
> at LARC. The London Action Resource Centre is at:

> Whitechapel,
> London E1 1ES

> meeting will make sense!), email press at climatecamp.org.uk and we'll get in
> touch.

> 8) RECLAIM POWER! PUSHING FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE - 16 DEC
>
> Reclaim Power! Pushing for Climate Justice
> Wednesday 16 December 2009
> Copenhagen, Denmark
>
> At the start of the ministerial phase of the UN-climate negotiations we
> will take over the conference for one day and transform it into a people's
> climate justice summit.
>
> The UNFCCC is failing to solve the climate crisis. We are no closer to
> reducing greenhouse gas emissions than we were when international
> negotiations began fifteen years ago: emissions continue to rise at
> alarming rates, while carbon trading allows climate criminals to pollute
> and profit. Together, we, thousands of people active in the emerging
> global movement for climate justice, are saying enough! No more business
> as usual, no more false solutions! Together, we will reclaim power and
> push for climate justice.
>
> Our goal is not to shut down the entire summit. However: this day will be
> ours, we will speak for ourselves and decide what is, and what is not, on
> the agenda. In particular, the voices of those affected by climate change
> from the Global South will have a forum. Using the force of our collective
> body to achieve our goal, our Reclaim Power! march will push into the
> conference area and enter the building, disrupt the sessions and take over
> the podiums. To this end, we will overcome, move around, or flow through
> any physical barriers that stand in our way, we will also carry tools that
> will help us overcome such barriers. We do not intend physical harm to
> anyone, and will not respond to any attempt by the police to escalate the
> situation.  Our action is one of civil disobedience, open to people from
> all backgrounds, ages, and levels of experience.
>
> We will meet at a common starting point, which will be legal and announced
> to the police and media - there will be a police liaison. From this
> starting point, we will march towards the conference centre and begin our
> push for climate justice. We are planning for multiple action scenarios,
> in order to be prepared for different kinds of responses from the police
> as well as changing situations. In order to facilitate action planning,
> and to be able to take quick decisions during our action, we will set up
> an action council drawn from the various groups and networks participating
> in the action.
