Reclaim the Power — Didcot and beyond!

 

Five days to go — here we come Didcot!

Programme’s up and packed full of treats.

In less than a week’s time Did­cot Mass Action Camp 2015 will be in full swing and we’re count­ing down the days and rar­ing up for a wicked week­end.

Set-up and start: Fri­day 29th May
Fin­ish: Tues­day 2nd June 2015
Face­book event here

We’ve got a packed sched­ule this year includ­ing the ‘Min­istry of Dis­sent’ — a one-stop shop for skilling up and tak­ing action with train­ers on board all day.  There’ll be the good peo­ple of Bar­ton Moss speak­ing about how to set up an ener­gy co-op and activist friends from Roja­va will be talk­ing about how to set up an entire autonomous region!

A range of train­ings are sched­uled from organ­i­sa­tions work­ing on the front­line of social change in the UK right now, includ­ing Lon­don Black Revs and UK Uncut, with Fuel Pover­ty Action tak­ing on the ‘Big 6’  and com­mu­ni­ty mobil­is­ing with DPAC (Dis­abled Peo­ple Against Cuts), and we’ll hear news about what’s com­ing up with the Paris cli­mate talks in Decem­ber, and from friends in the Rhineland about hold­ing off Big Coal there in August. Clos­er to home, we’ll also be hear­ing from Frack Free Lan­cashire about the immi­nent deci­sion in June, and how we can come togeth­er to say no to frack­ing — not now, not ever.

There’s also a com­e­dy dou­ble bill and music in the evening and time for us to dance and play, and get ener­gised and ready for our big day of action on Mon­day.

Check out the full pro­gramme here.

The site will be announced on Fri­day the 29th — keep your eyes on our web­site , Face­book and Twit­ter
