> 
> "The political importance of childcare
> We’re concerned about the lack of enthusiasm around providing stuff for
> kids and their carers.
> Action point: Gemma to write a short statement based mainly on stuff from
> the Raising Some Hell zine about not leaving your friends behind and the
> whole community taking responsibility for childcare.  Gemma will send it
> round to the list for a quick group edit before it is finalised.  This
> statement will be read out at the next climate camp gathering, by either
> Anna Davies or Annelle."
