The Kingsnorth Defence – A Time Comes

This new film by internationally acclaimed director Nick Broomfield celebrates the spirit of direct action. It focuses on 6 Greenpeace volunteers who in 2008 were tried and acquitted for shutting down Kingsnorth power station in the UK, in protest at the government’s plans to build a new generation of dirty coal-fired power plants. Their thoughtfully staged defense included testimony from a NASA Director and leading climate scientist, and from environmentalist Zac Goldsmith.

The Camp for Climate Action in Scotland starts Next Week!

Join us for a week of low-impact living and high-impact direct action!
From the 3rd to the 10th of August bring yourself and your friends to put
a stop to the root causes of climate change and ecological collapse.

Together we will take action to shut down polluting industry, while living
sustainably in a horizontally organised camp.

What’s happening at the camp:

The camp will provide a base for people to meet, train and take action. If
you’re coming with a group of friends that’s great – we’ll help you choose
targets and actions, and if you’re coming alone there will be plenty of
opportunity to meet other people and work out a plan.

The camp will be horizontally organising, and be as sustainable as
possible so expect compost toilets, grey water systems and micro-renewable
energy. There will be kitchens to make vegan food, and there will be
workshops, skill shares, and more.

Bring what you want to see! If you want to put on anything at the camp let
us know, and we’ll try and support you with any materials or info that you
need.

How to get to the camp:

The location of the site will be announced just before the start of the
camp – check the website (http://www.climatecampscotland.org.uk) or phone
the info number: 07755 3215473

If you are coming by public transport get yourself to Edinburgh Waverley
or Glasgow Central train stations and be prepared to travel – info-points
will tell you where to go next. There will be shuttle buses from the
nearest train/bus station to the camp.

What to bring to the camp:

A tent, sleeping bag and carry mat and anything else you’d take camping.
Be prepared for rain, sun and biting insects! Sun cream and mosquito
repellent will make life much more enjoyable. But most importantly, bring
all of your friends!

What not to bring to the camp:

Pen-knives – the cops love using them as an excuse to harass us so let’s
not let them. Anything you don’t want found on you if searched.
