Coal Train Blockade - Benefit Gig, Bristol, 19th June

Trainee | 02.06.2010 03:51 | Climate Chaos

Keep 19th June free! Make your way to the Plough in Bristol for an evening of open mic, upbeat bands and DJs playing til late. Cheap entry, a well-stocked bar and all sorts of unexpected goodies await.

This is a fundraiser for 18 people accused of maliciously obstructing a railway with regards an action at Ffos-y-Fran open-cast coal mine near Merthyr Tydfil in April. 7 people from Bristol and Bath chained themselves to a railway to prevent a train from delivering coal from the mine to Aberthaw Power Station, the dirtiest power station in Wales.

More info to come..

Disclaimer: proceeds will pay for the cost of travel to court appearances for defendants who would otherwise have difficulty reaching court. They will not be used to fund direct action or pay fines.
