Brighton’s Earth First! Spring Moot on 21st March

Join us for a day of workshops and discussion at Future Roots in Stanmer Park, a beautiful piece of woodland in the shadow of the L3Harris arms factory, which makes bomb components that are sent to the likes of Turkey, Israel and Saudi Arabia. The theme for this Moot is therefore ecology, climate crisis and militarism: we will be exploring the relationship between militarism and ecological degradation; how militaries try to build legitimacy with greenwashing, how ecological destruction is used as a weapon of war, and and how states enforce their control with ecocide. We want to share knowledge and build a anarchist ecological movement that is not co-opted by business, NGOs or governments.

The Moot will run from 9.30am till sunset, with workshops from 10am to 5.45pm, vegan lunch and dinner, tea and snacks. We will finish with some drinks around the fire, followed by an afterparty in town, more details tba.
Kids are very welcome, we hope to collectively run a kids space!

Entrance fees are donation-based, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
