Calling all Medics: The Camp for Climate Action needs you! ...to provide first aid and look after the general wellbeing of activists.
"The Camp for Climate Action is a grassroots movement taking direct action against the root causes of climate change. After mobilising and helping stop the proposed third runway at Heathrow and a new coal fired power station at Kingsnorth, we're growing into a mass movement"
"Last year RBS were bailed out with £50 billion of public money. This bank is one of the world's largest investor in oil, gas and coal. From tar sands extraction in Canada to coal infrastructure here in the UK, we're paying to trash our future. These projects are not just causing catastrophic climate change, but destroying the lives and livelihoods of people across the globe. Meanwhile, we're told there is no money left and we should be braced for decades of public sectors cuts."
Most of the work for the Camp for Climate Action takes place in small working groups taking on specific responsibilities for different aspects of the Camp.
If you want to get involved in the Camp's work, one of the best ways is to join a working group. They are not like committees, in that they don't have elected members, so anyone can join and take part. You'll find details of all the working groups in this section.
