Direct Action Camp in the squatted forest near Frankfurt/Germany

The for­est of kel­ster­bach near the air­port of frankfurt/main is occu­pied now since three month. Fra­port (the cor­po­ra­tion run­ning frank­furt air­port) is plan­ning to build a new run­way on this place, cut­ting down every tree on 300ha of land. In total some­thing about 100.000 trees would have to fall for the prof­it of an enor­mous inter­na­tion­al act­ing cor­po­ra­tion. For the peo­ple of this region it will mean twice the flight move­ments per year, at least to a lev­el of one move­ment every 45 sec.

In the first week of sep­tem­ber there will be an action camp on the site of occu­pa­tion, from where we´re going to start count­less direct activ­i­ties in the forests, the streets and the ter­mi­nals.

Pro­gramme
the camp will be an DIY camp, we will pro­vide a kitchen, food and all what is nec­es­sary to cook, but we are not enough peo­ple to cook alone, so we will do this alto­geth­er. The action camp starts mon­day 1.9.08 an will end on sun­day 7.9.08.
