3. Details of how to get involved
——————————————————–

There are two ways to take part in the day of action:

1. Join a garage protest (see list above). You can get in touch with the con­tact list­ed or you can just turn up on the day and offer your sup­port. As protests are con­firmed we’ll add them to the blog: http://www.totaloutofburma.blogspot.com.

2. Organ­ise your own action — there are sev­er­al hun­dred TOTAL petrol sta­tions in the UK to choose from. Fol­low these three easy steps:

a. Find out where your local TOTAL garage is by using the handy Ser­vice Sta­tion Find­er at http://www.total.co.uk or check the google map of UK TOTAL garages being cre­at­ed at http://tinyurl.com/2ftvdf.

b. Get some sim­ple visu­al mate­ri­als togeth­er, plus some leaflets or peti­tions, and pub­li­cise it to your friends, con­tacts and local press. If you want the details list­ed pub­licly (e.g. by email and on the blog) email them to totaloutofburma@gmail.com or call Paul on 07939 975 085.

c. Hold the protest! Take some pic­tures, post a report on Indymedia.org.uk and send the link to totaloutofburma@gmail.com. Plus write to TOTAL’s head office telling them what you’ve been up to.

Basic plac­ard designs, peti­tions, leaflets and a mod­el press release are down­load­able from: http://www.totaloutofburma.blogspot.com.
