Fossil Fools Day 2009 launches today. Spread the word and get plotting!
On April 1st, take aim at your local Fossil Fool

A: Speed up the end of the fossil fuel empire, and the beginnings of a more just and sustainable world.

Howdy,
There is a meeting at LARC on Thursday 2th of October which will be discussing various proposals and ideas for targets over the next while. And then on the 9th of October we have somebody from Platform in to talk about their ongoing RBS campaign.
So, come along, and kick capitalism in the ass.
The mobalisation meeting that happened in Copenhagen this weekend was very successful. 21 countries and 5 continents were represented as well as a very diverse mix of organizations, individuals, networks, and political perspectives. An international call out text was finalised and the debate regarding shutting down the negotiations or locking them in until we get a genuine solution - was begun. This will continue at the next international climate meeting (probably March of next year). What needs to happen now is this call out needs to spread around the world, so please cut, paste and email it to any lists you havn't seen it on yet.
Hi.

Ever wanted to work with people who think a system based on capital and
the ravages of the market is the cause of the problem, not the solution?
