Climate Camp Aotearoa: Wellington Organisers

Information

Climate Camp campaigners in Aotearoa are calling across the country to organise for a 2009 climate camp with an objective of starting a people's movement to actively address the root cause of climate change - this is the Wellington organising group!

Location: Wellington
Members: 10
Latest Activity: Dec 21

Get involved in building a people's movement to address the root causes of climate change!

What is a climate camp?

Climate camps have been successfully held in several countries overseas. Each camp event weaves four key themes: education, direct action, sustainable living, and building a movement to effectively tackle climate change by both resisting climate crimes and developing sustainable solutions. The camps are a place for anyone who wants to take action on climate change; for anyone who's fed up with empty government rhetoric and coporate spin; for anyone who's worried that the small steps they're taking aren't enough to match the scale of the problem; and for anyone who's worried about our future and wants to do something about it.

How is it organised?

The way the camps are orgnaised is very community based. You come as regional groups workingby consensus, not an organisation, which is seen as being far more democratic and sustainable. People in the far north, Wellington, Auckland, Taranaki and Christchurch have already gotten involved.

If you're in Wellington and you'd like to get involved in planning the 2009 Camp For Climate Action Aotearoa then please contact wellington.climatecampnz@lists.openplans.org or go to climatecamp.org.nz

I've joined here and don't know about the "organizer" bit, but I'm certainly willing to help out with future ones.
cheers,

You are warmly invited to attend a film screening tonight
Monday 30th November, 8pm, at the Newtown Community Centre. The films draw inspiration from recent camps in the UK and Australia.

Hope to see you there!

You guys keen to be part of that?
