Dear friends and comrades,

shit is on in the fight against lignite mining in Germany, and for a  
energy democracy transition.

Apologies for cross-posting, and please pass this alert on to whatever  
lists, social media outlets, phone trees, fax chains, telegraph- 
offices you can possibly find. Now is our time to fight, and we need  
help!

In solidarity (and not too little rage),

Tadzio


++++++++++++ Climate Justice Alert: Hambacher Forst threatened with  
eviction!++++++++++++

The stumbling German energy giant RWE is preparing to deliver its  
final blow against the climate justice movement, thus kicking off the  
final battle around German lignite: just after a massive killer of a  
heat wave, and right when the government-appointed “coal commission”  
is debating an end to lignite mining in Germany, RWE is threatening to  
evict the occupation of the Hambacher Forest in order to cut down what  
remainsof this majestic old growth forest. They've even announced the  
dates: it will happen between the 22nd of August and the 22nd of  
September. And evicting the occupation is the same as cutting down the  
trees of Hambacher Forest! So before the coal commission even reaches  
a decision on the future of lignite mining, our enemy RWE wants to  
create facts on the ground by destroying one of the major hot spots of  
the climate justice movement. But RWE is making a mistake, they're  
underestimating the strength and sheer numbers of the climate justice  
movement: we can and will create a hell of a shit storm in and beyond  
the Hambacher Forest! RWE doesn't have a clue how many people in  
Germany and from all over Europe will fight to protect the Forest and  
the climate. We say: Ya Basta! No more coal: not a single tree, house  
or village for your madness!

This is the situation: while RWE is preparing the eviction -- mapping  
the forest, calculating where the next path should be cleared, and  
targeting the comrades who have been defending the forest and every  
single tree for the last 6 years with ever more repression – we are  
preparing a determined defence of one of the most important locations  
not just for the climate justice movement, but for social movements in  
Europe as a whole! From the climate camp in the Rhineland, and as Ende  
Gelände, we are calling to all environmental and climate justice  
activists, climate NGOs, frontline communities, trade unionists, faith- 
based groups antifascists and anarchists, those fighting against  
useless megaprojects and defenders of mother earth, we are calling on  
everyone fighting the everyday insanity of capitalism to come and help  
us protect the Hambacher Forest, to fight for climate justice.

The campaign Aktion Unterholz, whose 'action consensus' closely  
resembles that you know from Ende Gelände, will be on site the day  
after the eviction begins, supporting all actions resisting the  
clearing – and we all need to support Unterholz. Don* expect the all  
around package and come prepared (Unterholz is already madly busy).  
Get organised, come to the forest, stand with us!

to discuss the defence of the Forest will take place at 2:30 pm in the  
EG goes Europe-tent. We cannot yet tell you how Ende Gelände will  
respond to this new situation, but will send an update on that out  
next week.

Lots can be done, but most importantly: get organised, and come to the  
forest. You can also raise money by throwing solidarity parties or  
collecting donations, share stories and news of the struggle on social  
media (facebook and twitter), organise action trainings or info  
events, donate.... Make use of your networks and contacts to  
journalists or organisations that could support us. If you live  
somewhere RWE has an office, do by all means stop by there and send us  
some pictures. Spread this email as widely as you can.
Not an inch for coal. Ya Basta: they shall not pass!
