[ssf] Fwd: 19 April Movement Building Day

[Patrick Gillett]

Good chance for Sheffield to get re-engaged with the wider climate action
movement. Apologies for the clash with the climate change day school, but I
didn't organise it. it was sorted by people outside of Sheffield as a
central location.

PLEASE FORWARD TO INTERESTED SHEFFIELD FOLK

Are you involved in local climate action or would you like to be? Climate
Chaos is getting real and we need to act now - building a vibrant grassroots
movement taking action all over the country.

The Network for Climate Action is a Uk network of local groups and and
national networks with the aim of sharing skills and providing support for
each other as well as organising for action.

We'd like to invite you to a day of networking, skillsharing and organising!

What's going to happen?

1) DAYS OF ACTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE
Review of Fossil Fools Day and planning the next round!
1 May: Invasion of the Climate Snatchers (day of action against false
solutions to climate change)
3 June: Day of Action on Food and Climate Change
(for more info see: http://www.daysofclimateaction.org.uk)

2) NETWORK FOR CLIMATE ACTION
What do we want the Network to do? How should it function? What needs
improving? How do we organise skillsharing, support, information sharing,
direct action training, outreach etc?

3) BUILDING MOMENTUM for the Climate camp and beyond
Ideas for building momentum for the climate camp locally

4) WORKSHOPS
on topics such as getting a local group going/keeping momentum, planning
actions and local press work. Let us know if you could contribute to a
workshop, or even offer to run one.

We're still in the planning stages - please get in touch if there's
something you'd like to see happening on the day!
