<p class=MsoNormal>Dear friends, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>The next meeting op Climate Justice Action should, in my
view , have just one agenda point. Dissolve the network of not. <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Climate Justice Action was formed to mobilise for
Copenhagen. In 2009 it was a lively, planet wide network that was powerfull
enough to make a stand in the streets of Copenhagen. In all the stress and rush
to prepare for that event, we forgot to think about the future of the network
itself. As a result many people dropped out after the Copenhagen summit.
Discussions at the last two meetings have focused on finding a cause to keep
the network alive. The standard recipe of global day of actions was brought up.
But that's not enough to keep people motivated and keep the network
alive. <br clear=all>
The meeting in bonn only had 30 people, the next meeting in Holland looks to be
even smaller. Tasks taken up in Bonn haven't been done. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>Apperently the time and energy to keep the network alive
isn't there any more. Most likely because the network is missing a concrete
common goal. A battle to prepare for. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I think it is time to face facts, and dissolve CJA as it is
at this moment. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would be good to keep the mailing list up, to make
contacts easier, or maybey organize a conference on Climate justice in Europe.
But to keep dragging the burden of an international network would be a mistake.
It will drain the time and energy needed elsewhere, and give people the false
hope that we are able to mobilise large amounts of activist for future
actions. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I ofcourse hope to be mistaken, and see lot's of angry
people at the next meeting to oppose my proposal. If not come over to have a
drink at the campfire. I hope anyway to see you all on the barricades ,
somewhere, sometime. <o:p></o:p></p>
