Resistance Exhibition – 40 years of protest and action

For full and further detials of this events see Resistance Exhibition on Sumac Centre Diary.

Since the early 1980’s, though our involvement with the Rainbow Centre in Nottingham, Veggies has catered for a huge diversity of radical campaigns for positive social change.

Documenting these 40 years of protest and resistance in the UK, through photos, videos, text and objects, Resistance Exhibition, aims to foster a public archive of a vibrant protest culture in the UK; a documenting of history by the people who made that history.

On Sunday 8th June we offer an exclusive to view this touring exhibition at Sumac Centre.

As at many ofthe campaigns documented by the exhibitiion there will be #FoodByVeggies including Sumac Sunday Brunch and #SamosasForSocialChange.

Earth First Summer Gathering 2025

The 2025 Earth First! Summer Gathering will be in Pembrokeshire, at a location to be announced near Fishguard.

The EF!SG 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.

Spread the word, share the post from Mastodon:

❄️ We hope that this winter we can have some really in-depth conversations about who we are and where we are at as a movement.

Love and Solidarity ✊️

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.

FrAcktion Action – South Yorkshire

Fracktion, a Sheffield based activist group, are organising a Spring gathering highlighting the many fracking sites that have popped up in the Yorkshire and East Midlands and to build solidarity in the fracking belt of North Notts/Derbyshire.

It will involve skill sharing, workshops and action planning in an effort to put on a creative action on Sunday and Monday.

This will be an opportunity to showcase local victories, share skills, and focus on creative solutions to the challenges facing anti-frackers in the area.

To build momentum for the event there will be a Protest & Creative Actions day on the 9th March at Harthill Village Hall, Winney Hill, Sheffield S26 7YL
