The Great Climate Wave
Hello readers,
Here's an event for those of you who don't feel quite up to direct action and climate camping. The Wave:
http://the-wave.org.uk/
will wash through the streets of London this Saturday, and a fair few ExActers will be amidst it
There is a train going from various SW locations - The South West Wave Train - for only £30 return on the day:

(thank you to Friends of the Earth for co-organising that). Coaches can be booked to and from London for £2 each way:
http://www.foe.co.uk/campaigns/climate/news/stagecoach_21435.html
I've heard a number of people mutter apathetically that they don't see the point of it because 'nothing came of the anti-war demo', and my reply is them is:
a) When people's rights are taken from them, and their voices ignored, does that mean that they should not continue to fight and speak?
b) Isn't that what The Powers That Be *want* us to do??
c) Are you seriously suggesting that we stand aside and accept climate chaos because one march didn't change the enture course of history?
d) Can we really say that it *didn't* change the course of history? How would you have felt if no one had marched at all?!
Whatever happens, we will be able to tell our children that we marched; we acted, we adapted, and we did what we could.
Don't forget to wear blue.
WAVE!
