Protest at Notts Police Authority meeting on June 24 at 9.30am County Hall Trent Bridge. The 'POLICE SCANDAL' of 'Operation Aeroscope' and it's cost to the public, needs a public protest.

The recent raid at a school in Sneinton, which saw over 100 people arrested for 'conspiring' to take action at a local coal fired powerstation, costs the police around £700,000. The costs of Operation Aeroscope, were revealed as a huge surplus in the Notts Police's budget for 2008/9 as recently presented to the Notts Police Authority. Apparently 'attempts will be made' to get some of the money back through central government (Home Office) but it seems most likely the cash will come straight off the budget of the Notts force, possibly leaving other services under-financed.

On the last leg of our journey The Coal Caravan visited two communities in the North East of England, Dipton and Cambois. UK: Coal are looking to open cast for coal at Dipton and Npower wish to build a new coal fired power station at Cambois. We urge people to support the campaigns against these developments.

Following the Nottingham premiere of The Age of Stupid, and the Nottingham Not Stupid Festival at Broadway in April, the first Indie Screening of 'The Age of Stupid' in Nottingham is announced.

This film is not about 'the climate', it is about oil, war, politics, consumerism and human stupidity. It is about the future of life on earth.

Veggie Pride UK will be a fantastic, fun-filled festival and carnival procession. It`s taking place in Victoria Square, in the heart of Birmingham City Centre on Saturday 16 May 2009. It will be the first event of it`s kind anywhere in the UK! See  http://www.veggiepride.org.uk

On Friday 24th April, Nottingham's Critical Mass Bike Ride started from the Market Square. Critical Mass is for everyone who rides a bike in Nottingham and wants to take part.

Due to overwhelming interest the Coal Caravan website at  http://www.coalcaravan.org.uk/ has been, well, overwhelmed! This epic 219 mile cycle caravan travels through communities threatened with open cast coal mines and power stations, from Notts to Newcastle (and a bit beyond). To keep up-to-date check out the blog at  http://coalcaravan.wordpress.com/

An initial upload of pictures of todays Critical Mass bike ride through Nottingham city centre. Reclaim the streets!

Last December government minister Ed Miliband said that 'popular mobilisation' was needed to create the pressure to reduce carbon emissions. He linked it to previous campaigns that had involved direct action.

"When you think about all the big historic movements, from the suffragettes, to anti-apartheid, to sexual equality in the 1960s, all the big political movements had popular mobilisation"


It sounds great doesn't it? And, when climate activists are essentially only asking for what science demands and what the government claims to want too, what could be the problem?

Someone should pass that thought on to other branches of government and state apparatus, as they appear to think differently on the issue.

Friday 24th April sees a busy day for anyone concerned about climate change and environmental issues in Nottingham.

The long awaited film, The Age of Stupid, opens at Broadway with the all day 'Nottingham Not Stupid Festival', whilst the Coal Caravan gathers at Sumac, West Bridgford launches their Green Streets Initiative, and all comes together for a Critical Mass Bike Ride.

If the 114 climate campaigners who were arrested in Nottingham on 13.4.09
had been planning to shut down a coal-fired power station, we support them
wholeheartedly. Coal is one of the dirtiest fossil fuels and if we are to
fight climate change we need to kick our addiction to it - and all of them
- now. Direct action of the sort that breaks laws to prevent the
terrifying impacts spelt out in worst-case climate change scenarios is
absolutely necessary.

A very positive vegan outreach day today in the centre of town...
