WHERE: Your street, town or city.
WHEN: April 1st, 2010.
London Rising Tide will be having their annual new people's film night on September 24th 2009 from 7.30pm at the London Action Resource Centre (LARC), 62 Fieldgate Street, London, E1 1ES Nearest tube - Whitechapel. The night will feature a couple of upbeat films to give an insight into the climate justice movement, followed by a short discussion and the chance to ask questions. Where we go next is up to all of us, so if this sounds like your cup of tea, do come along and get involved, there might even be cake! If you can't make it, LRT meet on the 2nd & 4th Thursdays of each month at LARC, so do come along or get in touch.
Hi.
Ever wondered what it's like to be part of the Social Justice Climate
Change Direct Action Network that is Rising Tide?
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?
Just come along to the London Rising Tide New people's film and
discussion night, this Thursday 18th September at the London Action Resource Centre (LARC) at 7.30pm, and we'll see if we agree!
It's a short walk from Whitechapel,Aldgate and Aldgate East Tube
stations, on the corner of Fieldgate Street (No.62) and Parfett Street E1 1ES.

ROLL UP, ROLL UP - RAT RACE, RAT RACE
On Saturday 29th November it’s BUY NOTHING DAY and the 2009 Norwich City Centre Rat Race is set to start. The race will highlight the moral, environmental and personal consequences of consumerism, and also challenge the city centre’s most unethical corporations. It would be great if as many people came along as possible!
Rat masks and ‘go faster’, ‘work harder’ signs will be provided and it would be good if people could dress smart (ish). We don’t know how long it will last but probably a few hours of racing, with lots of rest breaks.
