Reclaim the Power Mass Protest Camp

Reclaim the Power is back with a mass action camp targeting Drax, a wood biomass power station located near Selby, in Yorkshire.

Drax is a former coal-power station that converted to biomass, and now entirely burns wood biomass. Drax is the UKs single largest carbon emitter and world’s biggest tree burner. Their actions have been repeatedly linked to driving environmental racism and causing huge amounts of harm to communitiesforests and biodiversity.

Communities in the Southern US where many of the trees are processed are trapped in their homes by the air pollution this generates. They are calling on us to shut down the £1.66 million pounds of ‘green’ subsidies that we pay every day to make Drax’s business model viable.

New investigation finds Drax has continued sourcing from rare old growth forest ⤵️  This comes at a time when Drax is asking the gov for £billions more in subsidies – from our energy bills!

The UK Government has announced proposals to use our energy bills to give huge new subsidies to fund planet-wrecking tree burning at power stations like Drax in Yorkshire and Lynemouth in Northumberland.  Please write to your MP asking them to stop the new subsidies for burning trees in UK power stations. 

Reclaim the Power is a UK based direct action network fighting for social, environmental and economic justice. We aim to build a broad based movement, working in solidarity with frontline communities to effectively confront environmentally destructive industries and the social and economic forces driving climate change.

Earth First! Summer Gathering 2024

 Respect existence or expect resistance!

30th ever EarthFirst! Summer Gathering in the UK!

The summer gathering will take place 24-29th of July on a beautiful apple orchard near Shrewsbury.

Five days of skill-sharing for grassroots ecological direct action – make links, share ideas, and get involved in the struggles against open cast coal, fracking, new roads, HS2, climate criminals and more.

The Earth First! Summer Gathering is the place where people involved in radical ecological direct action – or those who want to be involved – get together for five days of time and space to talk, walk, share skills, learn, play, rant, find out what’s going on, find out what’s next, live outside, strategise, hang out, incite, laugh and conspire.

The workshops, networking and planning of actions at this low impact eco-living camp is organised non-hierarchically. It’s run without leaders by everyone who comes along, so come prepared to chip in!

There will be a kids’ space and programme, more info to follow! If you intend on bringing a dog friend, please let us know beforehand – there is limited space for dogs!

If you have specific accessibility needs please get in touch with us (earthfirstuk [at] riseup.net).

The schedule will be on display and you will be given a printed copy upon arrival. Spoiler alert – it will be amazing.

Veggies Catering Campaign are likely to be helping with the campaign catering.

There will be three meals a day, a cafe space with tea, coffee and cake– but it might be good to bring more bits and bobs if you know you might feel snacky in between meals. We ask everyone to leave a donation if you can (cash only!), but no-one will be turned away for lack of funds.

International Rebellion UK – Shut Down London!

Our leaders have failed us. It’s time to rebel – and have a damn good time doing it.

Climate breakdown and ecological collapse threaten our existence. Another world is possible, and it’s just within reach. It’s going to take everything we’ve got to get there. So we’re pulling out all the stops and rising up in a full-scale Rebellion against this twisted system to save ourselves and the natural world from extinction.

Meet at Parliament Square at 11am on Monday 15th of April. Come to London to stay – this is not a one-day march. Book two weeks off work, or go on strike. Think festival, arrange to stay with friends or bring camping gear. We will be blockading the city, engaging in civil disobedience, taking direct action, and joined by amazing acts will be performing at sites to be revealed closer to the time.

Extinction Rebellion Nottingham Organising Meeting

All are welcome – come along to find out more!

The next meeting of the Extinction Rebellion Nottingham group – to organise non-violent direct actions in and around Nottingham in support of the global Extinction Rebellion movement.
