Dear people,
\nThe Code Rood action camp starts in less than TWO WEEKS! In this
\nnewsletter you’ll find more info that you need to know for the action
\nand the camp. There’s more legal info, safety info and info on
\nwhen&where you need to be to still join the mass sitting blockade. Read
\non for (amongst other things) transport options to camp, the program,
\nthe legal support demonstration and see how you can help!
\n1. THE ACTION: SAFETY, PRACTICAL DETAILS
\nBefore the action begins it’s a good idea to take note of a few things.
\nThe action consensus [1] is one of the more important documents and
\nthere are a few points on safety [2] as well. For instance, it’s
\nimportant to know that we can’t have any open fire at\/near the action
\nlocation and we shouldn’t take anything that could be considered to be a
\nweapon. Because there are explosive and toxic materials in the tanker
\npark itself, we will not enter the terrain and will stay on the road to
\nblock access to the terrain for the tankers, this way we won’t have to
\nenter through the fences ourselves. It’s also good to check out the
\nlegal info [3] and the information on support and recovery [4]
\nbeforehand. At the camp there will be more opportunities to learn more
\nabout these different topics, especially on the day before the action
\n(Monday the 27th of August). On Monday night the last plenary action
\nbriefing will take place (the first one is on Sunday night). This is
\nalso the last moment to still join one of the groups (‘fingers’) that
\nleave from the camp to the NAM tanker park in Farmsum on Tuesday.
\n2. THE LEGAL SUPPORT DEMONSTRATION
\nBesides the Code Rood civil disobedience action, a completely legal
\ndemonstration [5] against the gas extraction will take place on August
\n28th, organized by local groups. This demonstration is accessible to
\neveryone. For this support demonstration, participants will gather at
\nthe Commandementsplein (a five minute walk from the Delfzijl train
\nstation). Various people have been invited to speech at this square.
\nAfter that, participants will start walking toward the NAM tanker park
\nto encourage those participating in the blockade and return to the
\nsquare afterwards. The march will take about one hour.
\n3. TRANSPORT
\nIn a few days two groups are leaving to join the Code Rood CYCLE RIDE!
\nThere’s a group that starts all the way in London to cycle to the action
\ncamp. You can join them from Utrecht and from Nijmegen! Check out the
\nwebsite [6] to sign up!
\nApart from the cycle ride, there will be BUSSES leaving from The Hague,
\nUtrecht and Amsterdam to the Code Rood action camp. They will both
\nreturn on August 31st. For more info, see also the website [6]. On the
\nwebsite you will also find extensive INTERNATIONALtravel options.
\nOur friends from Ende Gel\u00e4nde have also set up a B\u00f6rse [7]. This is a
\nplatform where you can offer empty seats in your CAR or look for someone
\nwith whom you can hitch a ride!
\n4. PROGRAM
\nThe program for the whole action week is now official! People like
\nAndreas Malm, Sandra Beckerman and Patricia Kaersenhout will be speaking
\nthere and there will be plenty of space for action preparations: form an
\naffinity group, join the last action training, decorate your action
\noutfit and get better informed on the legal details, your own resilience
\nand the problems around natural gas locally and globally. The program
\nwill be uploaded to this web page [8]asap!
\n5. CLIMATE GAMES BASEL
\nThis weekend our friends from the Climate Games in Switzerland
\n[9]stopped the oil port in Basel for hours! They are vocal about their
\nsolidarity with Code Rood [10], so we have something to prove this
\nsummer! It goes to show that we are a part of a growing movement of
\npeople power breaking the power of the fossil fuel industries. In two
\nweeks it’ll be your turn, Shell, Exxon and NAM!
\n6. LIVE-STREAM
\nDuring the camp and the action we will have our own Code Rood
\nlive-stream! At the camp we will go live for 20 minutes twice a day and
\nduring the mass action we will give out an update every two hours. This
\nway everyone who is not (yet) at the camp or who can’t join in with the
\naction can still follow everything! During the live-stream there will be
\nspace for interviews so you can share your story, motivation and
\nenthusiasm. Because we are all Code Rood! If you have suggestions or
\nideas about the content of the live-stream, send an email to the media
\nand communication working group!
\n7. HELP OUT!
\nBUILDING THE CAMP AND CLEANING UP: Are you already looking forward to
\nthe Code Rood camp and can you help to make it come alive? There are
\npeople needed in the couple of days before the action week to help
\nbuilding the camp and in the couple of days after the action week to
\nhelp break it down and clean up. Are you interested? Send an email to
\nlogistiek@lists.riseup.net! Tips: it’s even more fun if you bring your
\nfriends!
\nDONATIONS: A weeklong camp and a mass action, it may cost quite
\nsomething! Have you already donated? You can transfer to NL55 TRIO 0338
\n6023 80 (name: Steungroep NVDA), where you are partaking in the action
\nor just are supportive! It is also a good idea to bring cash money to
\nthe action camp for both donations for food and for Code Rood. For the
\ncamp a donation of 5 euros (or more) per day is really appreciated and
\nthe action kitchen Le Sabot [11] will be offering three delicious meals
\neach day for a suggested price of 7,50 euros.
\nLove,
\nCode Rood.
