I am coming back to Alberta for some fun. You all should join me!!!
Global Warming Action Camp
June 3rd - June 8th 2007
Come learn the skills to save the planet - from climbing, to blockades - campaign planning to media help build your skills and save our little neck of the woods.
The fossil fuel industry is a serious threat to Alberta's human health, water resources, indigenous rights, boreal forest, wildlife and fisheries, and will leave a toxic legacy for generations to come in Alberta, and impacts from global warming for the world!
Five day Actions Training - Beginning Sunday June 3rd with 8pm welcome, and ending with Friday evening June 8th 2007.
Sessions will include, non violence training, media and communications skills, legal/regulatory strategies, direct action skills, campaign strategies and tactics, grass roots organizing, planning and logistics. Generations of organizers will be attending this camp and sharing campaign/action experiences, victories, stories and share our collective visions for an energy future we can live with!
Where will camp be? Edmonton, Alberta Area
The camp will be an outdoor camping setting on secluded acres located on a ridge along the beautiful and mighty North Saskatchewan River. The training will be free of charge to those attending.
