Get ready for a fun-filled day of action in the City! Yes, we’re returning to
Cardiff for a day of action against the corporations, financiers and planners
behind new-coal in Wales. Saturday the 24th, we will be on the streets
demanding a fossil-fuel free future. Then on Sunday, there will be workshops
focusing on the problems and solutions. Come to Cardiff for the weekend!
More details to follow.

UNIVERSITY OUTREACH
Universities return in a few weeks for another year of study. Climate Camp
Cymru would like help getting along to spread the camps message and engage
students on their own turf. If you are at a university in Wales or you’re not
but want to get involved with the outreach team who are hoping to get along to
chat to students and staff, get in touch at: outreach@climatecampcymru.org

VESTAS DAY OF ACTION
17th September, Cardiff
Workers who occupied the Vestas Wind Turbine Factory on the Isle of Wight have
called a demonstration in Cardiff on the 17th of September to expand the
campaign as part of a wider cause, which raises issues of social and
environmental justice.
The details of the rally so far are that it will be on Thursday the 17th
September, at 5.00pm at the Nye Bevan statue on Queen ST.

BRISTOL CO-MUTINY
Between the 17-20th of September, people will converge on Bristol for an
uprising of autonomous actions and events focused on financial institutions,
environmental justice, boarders, food and autonomous spaces. It promises to be
a fantastic week.

GREAT CLIMATE SWOOP: UPDATE!
How exciting!
At the London Climate Camp last week E.ON’s Ratcliffe-on-Soar power station
won the ‘Britain’s got Direct Action’ competition! So, it will be the first
coal power station to be democratically shut down by people converging on the
18-19 of October to take action on the causes of climate change, together.
