12/12 demonstration Copenhagen

02-12-2009 16:35

Be part of the party!
Copenhagen – COP15 – World Climate Summit

December 12th 2009 a mass demonstration against the COP15 Climate Summit will take place in Copenhagen. A mixture of very different people, groups and organizations are going to participate.

Unfortunately the registered route of the demonstration will directly lead out of the city centre to a barren part of town around the conference building, where it is going to end. It will also not be possible for us to change our mind on the way and turn around in order to bring our protest to public places, as after 30 m the demo will cross a draw-bridge, which can ban us from the inner city in the blink of an eye. This is why we think it is important to make up our minds beforehand, which way we want to go.
