1. enter a power plant and to shut down the production
2. confront politicians and energy companies with direct action, challenging the existing system
3. to evoke international recognition of the intentness of climate movements
4. mobilise people for climate activism by participating in an creative, colourful and integrating action
5. and finally to raise awareness about the conflict between coal power and climate change
The ‘shut it down’ campaign was initiated by climate activists who reject the current climate policies of politicians and energy companies, but want to be part of a strong oppositional movement. We are aiming to communicate the conflict between climate and coal and are willing to take direct action if necessary. Everybody who is inspired by this idea is welcome to join our group and to be part of ‘shut it down’.
how we work
The campaign is organised in four subgroups each contributing to the overal aim of ‘shut it down’. All subgroups come together in regular coordinating meetings to report progress and adapt their collaboration. You can find short descriptions of the groups on the website
