Dear everyone,

The last Saturday of January we made a decision about the date of our action: from the 24th\u00a0to the 41st\u00a0of August we will\u00a0organize an action camp in Groningen. At and around the \u201cGronings Ontzet\u201d, a festive day called Bommen Berend on the 28th,\u00a0we will collectively act against gas extraction. Make sure you\u2019re there: together we break the power of NAM, Shell and Exxon!

In this newsletter you\u2019ll find:

    1.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0REFLECTION ON THE ACTION CONFERENCE<\/b>
    Last action conference, the 27th\u00a0of January, we decided when the climate camp surrounding the mass civil disobedience\u00a0actions against Shell, Exxon and the gas extraction in Groningen will be organized. Together we decided for the last week of\u00a0August (Friday the 24th\u00a0to Friday the 31st). The most important day of action will be Tuesday the 28th, a symbolic day that\u00a0marks the \u201cGronings Ontzet\u201d (Bommen Berend).

    More than 100 people from different backgrounds and with different backgrounds came together to join their forces. We\u00a0heard inspiring stories about the existing resistance against the NAM, and the necessity to escalate. There was also an\u00a0opportunity to join, or brainstorm with, different working groups, and afterward we had a delicious dinner at the ORKZ. A\u00a0good begin of a collaboration that fights for a fair energy transition. Away from fossil and towards a fair compensation of the\u00a0victims of the unfair gas extraction of government and fossil industry.\u00a0

    Do you want help with the preparation of the action and the camp? Contact a\u00a0working group<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0email<\/a>\u00a0us for more\u00a0information.

    2.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0NEXT ACTION CONFERENCE MARCH THE 17th<\/b>
    March the 17th\u00a0is the next action conference in\u00a0Groningen. We will come together, make next steps and new decisions. In the\u00a0meantime, the different working groups will do their work. The exact program of the action conference will depend on the input\u00a0of the working groups. Everybody is more than welcome to join the conference, whether you want to take part in the\u00a0disobedience part of the action, want to share your knowledge, or just want to get to know us better.

    Sign up for the conference on the\u00a0    website<\/a>, share the\u00a0facebook event<\/a>\u00a0and invite your friends!

    3. UPDATES ABOUT THE RESISTANCE AGAINST THE EXTRACTION OF NATURAL\u00a0GAS IN GRONINGEN<\/b>
    After the heaviest earthquake since 2012, a lot has happened around the extraction of natural gas\u00a0in Groningen. State supervision of mines\u00a0concluded that it is Code Red for Groningen\u00a0and gas\u00a0extraction has to diminish as soon as possible. Two weeks ago more than 10.000 people\u00a0walked along the\u00a0torch relay. Together we made clear that the gas tap must be closed. Enough is\u00a0enough! \u00a0

    On the day of the action conference news emerged that Shell renounced its so-called 403-statement\u00a0and therefore waived the liability for claims. A storm of criticism erupted and rightly so!\u00a0Farmers\u00a0from Groningen took their tractors to The Hague.\u00a0Many other people from Groningen and the\u00a0climate movement joined. Together they made a powerful statement: enough is enough!
    \u00a0
    Further the \u2018Dagblad van het Noorden\u2019 published last week\u00a0the secret contract\u00a0between Shell,\u00a0Exxon, and the Dutch State. This makes it clear that the Dutch State is huge intertwined with the\u00a0fossil industry. That is the reason why we have to break the power of the fossil industry!
    \u00a0
    Last Monday morning people came\u00a0into action to preserve a listed house in \u2019t Zandt\u00a0which is in\u00a0danger of demolition by the NAM.\u00a0Successfully: the alderman now wants to talk about saving the house. This is only a brief summary of\u00a0what has been happening \u2013 just as the actions around Bommen Berend will be one of the many actions are\u00a0against the fossil industry.\u00a0

    4.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a02.Dh5 FESTIVAL<\/b>
    From 9 to 11 February,\u00a0    2dh5 Festiva<\/a>l will take place in OT301, Amsterdam. The 2.Dh5 festival is a place to\u00a0discuss grass-roots campaigns, tactics, and methods that bring our ideals of a free and caring society closer.\u00a0We do this by engaging in analyses of the current and historical context, by looking at real alternatives, and\u00a0(re)discovering strategies.

    We\u2019ll bring together various groups, campaigns, and individuals who are active in struggles around feminism,\u00a0queer, anti-racism, anti-fascism, decolonialism, anti-militarism, international solidarity, climate\/ecology, labour,\u00a0migration\/no-border, internet freedom\/privacy, right to the city\/gentrification and all their intersections. We aim\u00a0to learn from one another, strengthen our struggles, and work on building a better world.

    Among other workshops, there will be a Code Rood info stand, on Sunday an introduction of Code Rood, and\u00a0a discussion about the NGO- industrial complex.

    5.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0DONATIONS<\/b>
    We can always use donations. For the next action\u00a0conference we again want to accommodate for people with less travel budget, and of course, need a space\u00a0etc. If you can miss something, you can donate at\u00a0NL55 TRIO 0338 6023 80 t.n.v. Steungroep NVDA.\u00a0Share this with family and friends \u2013 especially if your birthday is coming up and your house is\u00a0already full of stuff.\u00a0
