What’s that you say comrade?!
A Regional Earth First! Winter Moot?! In East London?! On November 15th?! Sign me up!
“Greetings from a small group of EF!ers based in East London! We had such a great time at the summer gathering we have decided to pull together a moot. We want to focus on growing our existing mutual aid networks and build on the ways we are materially supporting each other, to not just survive the coming winter, but so we can thrive and take direct action together! Open to all green-anarchist aligned folks, priority for folks based in east london.
Drop an email to earthfirst.uk@proton.me if you wanna come (this means we can keep an eye on how many folks are coming and bring enough supplies!) We’ll send you the location and more info about what to expect on the day, including the access guide for the space and how to get there.
We need some extra hands on the day to make this happen! We have a few specific roles, like welcoming people, time keeping, facilitating, food handling, opening and closing the space and helping unload and pack up some materials at the start and end of the moot. When you email us, plz tell us if you can help with any of these roles ❤️
We have a few activities planned across two rooms + are keen for folks to bring their zines and other bits of distro! we have tables you can borrow!
Kitchen space 2pm- 5pm: Fire cyder making – practical workshop where we will be making fire cyder vinegar together that folks can take home with them (all ingredients provided, bring a jar or bottle!) (drop in any time)
Office space 2pm- 5pm: Prisoner letter writing (drop-in any time)
Kitchen space 5pm – 7pm: Potluck meal (bring somat to share, we have an induction cooker + microwave for hotting stuff up!)
7pm: Tidy up together!
We wanna encourage convos about community care, mutual aid, and looking after our health. Some ways we are practising these things include asking EF!ers to mask up, test for covid before attending, and sit this one out if you’ve got a cough or a cold. This moot is being organised by folks whose loved ones are immunocompromised + precariously housed, and we gotta prioritise their health ❤️”
