Our friends at Climate Camp have organised this great event with a brilliant line up of speakers and all they need now is a fantastic audience, that’s where you come in.
Climate Camp London wants to pack the place out with people wanting to discuss, listen to and learn about how we can work together to resist oil companies’ destructive actions across the world.
COMMUNITIES AND RESISTANCE – TEACH-IN ON BLOODY OIL
Saturday 26 June 2010
2pm-6pm
Room G2, Main Building
School of Oriental and African Studies
Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG
Want to know more about oil companies and how people around the world are resisting them? Come on Saturday to learn from communities in the Global South with a long track record of resisting devastation that has long surpassed the wreckage of the US Gulf States. Find out what they have said, what they’ve done, what they’ve lost, what they’ve won, and how we can strengthen each other. Hear from women and men in communities, trade unions, and even an oil company who have fought to turn around the curse of oil and secure benefits for grassroots people.
Films, news, presentations or live video link-up from resistance in:
Ghana, Venezuela, Colombia, Nigeria, Iraq, the Gulf of Mexico and Canada … and your own campaigns.
This teach-in will be a chance to discuss different forms of resistance to “bloody oil” and its backers: armed resistance, “legal” resistance, and taking on the Empire, and see how we can make solidarity action more international and more effective.
It’ll also be a chance to find out more about why the Camp for Climate Action will be paying a visit to RBS headquarters in Edinburgh, August 21st-25th.
Organised by London Climate Camp with the UK Tar Sands Network, Columbia Solidarity Campaign, Global Women’s Strike and Remember Saro-Wiwa.
