Ecological Direct Action without Compromise!
Earth First! Summer Gathering
18th -24th Aug 2009, Cumbria
Workshops programme attached.
Earth First! is a network of people and campaigns who fight ecological destruction and the forces driving it. We believe in doing it ourselves rather than relying on governments or industry. Direct action is at the heart of what we do, whether we're standing in front of a bulldozer, shutting down an opencast mine or ripping up a field of GM crops.
Join us for 5 days (19th - 23rd) of workshops, networking and planning actions at a low impact eco-living camp organised non-hierarchically. It's run without leaders by everyone who comes along, so come prepared to chip in!
Workshops, skill sharing and planning action, plus low- impact living without leaders.
Meet and share skills with others who care. Plan actions and campaigns. Have fun. We've got over 80 workshops, planning, strategy and 'Where Next' sessions planned, get in touch if you want to offer a workshop!
WHERE
The site is near in the Lake District, Cumbria. The nearest train station is Penrith and there is a bus service to the site, there are car and living vehicle spaces outside the camp.
The exact location will be announced the week before the gathering so that it doesn't turn into a festival. For travel directions check our website or send a stamped addressed envelope marked 'directions' to us.

Destruction is very easy and fun, needs no skills (just check out Conbat18), alternatives that provide this masivly overpopulated planet with alternatives is hard and requires long term goals with practical examples for the majority.
But I doubt you will, you have your dogma to uphold, smash everything and render down everyone to mere subsistance level existance.
Frankly if your not trying to fix the problem your just playing in a field.
