Dress code: London underwater 2050, (rubber rings, fish, mermaids/mermen, etc. Some snorkels provided!)

As part of the many grassroots events sprouting up all around the European Social Forum in London, London Rising Tide has (dis)organised this very public exposure of some of the forces that are sending our planet tumbling into climate chaos.
This event is timed as part of the build-up of widespread, positive, creative resistance to the G8 meeting in Scotland next year. Samba band Rhythms of Resistance will be there, as will a renewably-powered cycle sound system, not to mention loads of Londoners and visitors to the city taking a break from the ESF.
A shortlist of G8 climate criminals has been drawn up, and one representing each G8 country will be visited and (un)ceremonially declared unwelcome in any vision of a socially just, fossil fuel-free future. Possible recipients include oil & gas companies, government embassies, car companies, airlines, arms manufacturers & the nuclear industry.
(NB: this event is for pedestrians and people on unmotorised wheels)
Meet NFT, underwaterloo Bridge, South Bank
Midday Friday 15th October, ending with a (London) Rising Tide of resistance to climate chaos at 3.30pm at the Edith Cavell statue opposite the entrance to the BP-sponsored National
Portrait Gallery, Charing Cross Road.
The people need the G8 like a fish needs a bicycle!
