[Cja] Brussels climate justice assembly

[Susann Scherbarth]

Hi,
Susi from FoE Europe here.
Nice to read some rumors about the CJ assembly and information are spread. ;-)

Just to comment on few things:
-CJA Belgium was quite enthusiastic in being involved in the CJ assembly end November in 
Brussels.

-we heard that some people from CJA belgium will join the next meeting on preparing the 
assembly next week Tuesday (6pm in Mundo B in Brussels. Everyone is welcome who wanna 
contribute to the assembly).

-The whole organization of the event is happening in an open process and more concrete 
ideas and proposals are more than welcome. Hopefully next week for the meeting we will 
show the first draft of the programme where people can comment. So hope some people from 
CJA will join this process as well. Maybe it seems to be uncertain because we started to 
implement the assembly idea quite late.

-the assembly is an opportunity for people to meet and debate about different areas on 
climate justice and to build and strengthen  our CJ movement - in Europe.

-We wanna give a sign - in form of a statement - to Cancun, which is starting directly 
afterwards.

-and Young Friends of the Earth (and other European youth) will join the assembly and will 
organize activities inBrussels the following 2 weeks when the COP is happening in Cancun. 
Rapid response actions, debates, workshops, socializing, meet, drink and other things.

Sorry for being rather short.
Hope that clarifies a bit, but am happy to answer more questions.
Cheers,
SUSI
