Newsletter CODE ROOD: only 7 days left!
Dear people,
In 9 days its time for the CODE ROOD climate action!
The preparation are reaching the final stage, and everything points towards a powerful action. Throughout the country a lot of people have followed an action training, a large group of people is coming to participate from abroad, and there is already interrest from several local, regional and national media.
THE CLIMATE CAMP & THE ACTION
It is not just about the action on the 24th of June, but also about the the 4-day climate camp. Here is an overview of the schedule:
- Thursday 22 June is the day that we are going to built the camp. On 11.00 am we gather at Amsterdam Sloterdijk trainstation and from there we will got to the camp. Bring a bike if possible. It is important that we are with a lot of people, so if you cannot make it yourself, invite your friends!
- Friday 23 June: trainings and workshops to prepare for the action. If you did not have the change yet to do an action training, then you can still follow an action training of 1,5 hours in the morning or afternoon. There is also space for music, screenings and discussions. Most important is the final briefing on Friday evening after dinner. If you want to participate in the action on Saturday, then it is necessary to be there.
- Saturday 24 June: time for action! We keep the exact starting time of the action vague, to ensure that it becomes a succes. When you go to bed, be prepared to be ready for the action in 30 minutes after you have been woken up. This means: get out of your sleeping back, put your outfit on, grab your packed backpack, get out of your tent, go to the toilet and grab some breakfast.
- Sunday 25 June: looking back on hopefully a successful action and time for relaxation.
- Sunday 26 June: together we cleanup the camp!
