1. Book now for Breaking the Frame gathering, May 2nd - 5th.

The Breaking the Frame gathering is happening soon and it's time to book your place at one of the most exciting events of this year.  We need your participation and input to help us take a leap forward in radical politics.

Whether you're interested in the politics of food, energy, work, environment, gender, peace, economics, health, etc., all these issues are shaped by choices about technology made by military, corporate and technocratic elites.   The aim of the gathering is to change the debate about technology, environment and society, and to put the politics of technology where it belongs, at the heart of radical politics.  It's about a broad social and political vision, not just a long list of issues raised by technology.  And we will to do more than just talk about the issues: we aim to create a new network on the politics of technology, which will strengthen existing campaigns and act as a platform for new ones.

Although the main focus will be on learning from each other, we have some great speakers lined up including Jerry Mander (International Forum on Globalisation), Simon Fairlie (editor, The Land Magazine), Hilary Wainwright (editor, Red Pepper), Theo Simon (Stop Hinkley C), Danny Chivers (No Dash for Gas). And it won't just be talking and thinking - there will be hands on workshops, music, poetry and time to explore the beautiful grounds of Unstone Grange and the surrounding Derbyshire countryside.  There will be childcare available during the daytime so parents can fully participate in the gathering.

So whether you are a technology politics campaigner, trade unionist, radical scientist/engineer, environmentalist, developer of alternative technologies, artist, or plain concerned citizen, Breaking the Frame is open to you.

For more on the ideas behind the gathering and to check out the growing list of organisations supporting it and taking part, visit www.breakingtheframe.org.uk.  You can book online, or print and post the attached registration form.  We are committed to making sure that no-one is excluded for financial reasons, so we are subsiding places to make sure the gathering is as cheap as possible.
