UPCOMING EVENTS AND ACTIONS:
------------------------
1) CLIMATE CARAVAN, HEATHROW TO KINGSNORTH, 27.7.08-3.8.08
The Climate Caravan will cross London, looking at how capitalism and
collective resistance to it since 17th century have set us on a path to
the Climate Camp at Kingsnorth in 2008. The 60 mile route will mostly
follow the south side of the Thames. We will be hosted by communities
along the route who will support us with food, water and accommodation,
and host a public event.
