<BR>Dear friends,<BR> <BR>As the worst floods in sixty years drench the UK, it seems like the right<BR>time for an update and reminder about the Camp for Climate Action, which<BR>is taking place next month (14th – 21st August). If you didn’t make it to<BR>last year’s camp outside Drax power station in Yorkshire, we had over 600<BR>people, 100 workshops, a successful day of action against Drax and<BR>national media coverage, making it one of the major climate action events<BR>of the year.<BR> <BR>This year’s camp will be taking place near Heathrow airport, and will<BR>again be a celebration of low-impact living, education, ideas-sharing and<BR>action! This time around, we are hoping to get not just hundreds, but<BR>thousands of people to the Camp, and make an even bigger impact than last<BR>year. Anyone is welcome to come along, either to visit or (better still)<BR>to stay and take part – the Camp will again be run cooperatively, without<BR>leaders, by everyone who comes along. Whilst it is very likely that<BR>autonomous actions will be taking place all week, the Camp will also<BR>feature “24 hours of mass action” from noon on Sunday 19th to noon on<BR>Monday 20th – details, naturally, to be confirmed at the Camp...<BR> <BR>As well as challenging the Government's plans to expand aviation at the<BR>expense of our shared climate, and support local people in their struggle<BR>against the third Heathrow runway, the Camp aims to showcase examples of<BR>high-quality low-impact living, share information, skills and ideas, and<BR>most importantly of all help to build a powerful people-driven movement<BR>for climate action. It's going to be brilliant. More information can be<BR>found at www.climatecamp.org.uk (a full timetable of workshops will be<BR>available soon).<BR> <BR>We’d be very grateful if you could forward this message on to all the<BR>interested people you can think of, and encourage them to visit the<BR>website to find out more. Please do get in touch if you’d like any<BR>leaflets or posters about the Camp, or a copy of the film we made about<BR>last year’s event; if you’d be interested in running a session at the Camp<BR>or helping out in other specific ways; or if you simply have any other<BR>questions about the Camp. You can contact us by email<BR>(info@climatecamp.org.uk / dannychivers@riseup.net) or by phone: 0777 286<BR>1099.<BR> <BR>Hope to see you at the camp!<BR> <BR>Best wishes,<BR> <BR>Danny Chivers<BR>Camp for Climate Action Networking Group<BR>www.climatecamp.org.uk<BR> <BR>Some quotes from the public meeting in Sipson on July 18th 2007 (see<BR><A>http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/07/376601.html</A>):<BR> <BR>"I am formally welcoming Climate Camp to my constituency. They're going to<BR>put our campaign on the map in a way that some of us have tried - but not<BR>been able to."<BR>-John McDonnell, MP for Hayes & Harlington<BR> <BR>"I've lived here twenty years, and at fifty years of age I've got to say<BR>I'd given up.
