Hello,

I’m writing to let you know about the Camp for Climate Action, happening
this summer from 14th – 21st August. You may well have heard about last
year’s camp outside Drax power station in Yorkshire. This year’s camp will
again combine education on climate change, practical workshops to reduce
our ecological footprints, low impact living and mass action against major
carbon emitters.

With over 600 people, 100 workshops, a successful day of action against
Drax, and a big media splash, last year's camp was one of the major
climate action events of the year. We're writing to ask for your help to
make Camp for Climate Action 2007 an even bigger success.

The Camp for Climate Action is working to build a mass movement for urgent
action on climate change. To do this we need masses of people. So what we
need most is your help in spreading the word about the camp, and
encouraging as many people as possible to come along. There are lots of
ways you and your group can do this:



•	Send an email or letter to everyone who is involved in or supports your
group, letting them know about the camp and where to find out more.
•	Distribute Camp for Climate Action leaflets wherever you can – in your
local area, in your office or meeting space, and at
workshops/conferences/festivals that you go to. (You may have already
received a batch of leaflets in the post along with a letter like this –
email us if you’d like more!)
•	Host a talk or workshop about climate change and the Camp for Climate
Action. Someone from the camp collective can come to your area, and can
tailor the event to your needs/audience: for example, it could be short
presentation during your group’s meeting, a slot at a seminar or public
meeting, or a full workshop that we organise.
•	Organise film screenings of Reclaim Power, a documentary about last
year’s camp. Someone from the camp collective would be happy to introduce
the film. (More info on the film available here:
www.climatecamp.org.uk/dvd.pdf).

For more information, to get copies of leaflets or the Reclaim Power DVD,
for a template email/letter to send out about the camp, or to discuss
hosting a workshop or talk, please email networking at climatecamp.org.uk or
phone 0777 286 1099. And to find out all about the camp and other ways to
help out and get involved, see www.climatecamp.org.uk..

If we are to have any chance of preventing climate catastrophe, we need to
build and strengthen links within and between our movements. So one way or
another, we hope you get in touch… and see you at the camp!

Best wishes,


Jess Lawson
