[Radical_childcare] Vestas occupation: people needed - Please forward widely

[Anna Davies]

> Workers' Climate Action - Volunteer for Vestas
> 
> On Tuesday 4th August the injunction brought by Vestas plc to evict the
> workers from their wind turbine factory, currently under occupation in the
> Isle of Wight, will be in court.
> 
> This is the second time the injunction has come to court, and if Vestas
> plc win then the forcible eviction of the workers will be imenent (likely
> to be within the next 1-2 weeks).
> 
> The workers urgently need more support from all areas of the movement -
> environmental, socialist, anarchist, any combination of the above! We are
> organising a mini bus to head to Vestas in time for the injunction
> hearing. It will leave on Monday evening about 6pm and return on Wednesday
> morning. Take a day off work, pull a sickie, change your plans - this
> factory needs to be saved for the workers, and for the planet.
> 
> All help is appreciated, but if you can offer any of the following things
> then please especially think about getting down there and let us know what
> skills or resources you're taking with you:
> 
> *Can you help organise a direct action skills-up?
> *Would you like to help organise and provide some childcare?
> *Are you good at media work including media contacts?
> *Experience in legal observing?
> *Do you have infrastructure which can be used at the camp including
> tents/small marquees/cooking facilities/kids stuff/anything to make it
> livable
> *And most importantly are you a willing pair of hands (all support is very
> useful)?
> 
> The minibus will cost around £30 (return) and will hopefully be
> subsidised. This needs to be organised asap so if you can help and want to
> get on the minibus call Maddy on 07954251724  or Bex on 07971719797. Any
> questions call or e-mail vestasvolunteers at riseup.net
> 
> If you can't make it down on Monday then please think about taking the
> time to go down in the period in between the injunction hearing and the
> eviction which may result from it if the hearing goes in favour of Vestas
> plc. We will send around another update later in the week with more
> information about plans for the post-injunction resistance. However,
> getting skills and infrastructure down there is important *now*.
> 
> Having both been down there we can assure you that it is a really friendly
> open environment, everyone is welcome, and everyone's skills can be put to
> good use!
> 
> Make this the last email you read - and get down to the Isle of Wight!
> 
> Solidarity, Maddy and Bex on behalf of Workers' Climate Action
