There are various plans for fracking projects in the UK including in S.Wales and we have invited Welsh activists to this event.

This is a FREE EVENT and food is available to buy at Cafe Kino - everyone is welcome (apart from the cops).

This event is hosted by Bristol Rising Tide which is part of the international Rising Network of groups and individuals taking action against the root causes of climate injustice.

A fuller writeup is on Cafe kino's website: http://www.cafe-kino.com/events/index.htm http://nofrackinguk.com/ This is the campaign page by the South Glamorgan group who we have invited to the event. They have so far managed to block planning permission in their area and are now mounting a national campaign. It wouls be good to include a link to their site. Additional info: Shell and other fossil fuel companies are currently promoting gas fracking to the UK government, claiming the UK.can meet its emissions targets using this cheaply extracted fossil fuel - more cheaply than with renwables. Test drilling near Blackpool has just been suspended due to concerns it may be the cause of two earthquakes in the past 2 months.
