A few of the currennt campaigns..
~ ‘Stop the Dump’ CND protest, 31st Oct – organised by various anti-nclear groups including Plymouth CND in reaction to the fact that ‘the Government is planning to extend Plymouth's role as a dump for redundant radioactive nuclear subs’. Various green groups from around the UK will be going as well as several ExAct members. As it is on Halloween we could go dressed up as radioactive monsters/zombies- watch this space for details on a creative costume-making gathering!
~ Climate Camp update – some of you will already have dipped into Devon and Kernow’s tent at the Climate Camp held in London this year. CC members would like to set up monthly meetings for regional areas to meet, which means that Cornwall, Devon and Plymouth members meet up once a month to discuss campaigns etc. No meeting has been arranged up yet, but The Great Climate Swoop is on the 17th of October and promises to be ‘a mega get together to close one of the UK's biggest coal fired power stations, E.ON's Ratcliffe-on-Soar in Nottingham.’ For more info see:

~ Climate Rush - visited Exeter on Monday, and Totnes yesterday. The Climate Rush is founded on the principle of the Suffragettes 100 years ago, ‘who showed that peaceful civil disobedience could inspire positive change. [They] demand DEEDS NOT WORDS because individual choice alone cannot curb CO2 emissions if we are to stop runaway global warming.’
