Dead excited to hear that Reverend Billy and The Stop Shopping Choir are returning to Nottingham.
The venue for the EARTH RIOT show in Nottingham on Monday 8th November is to be confirmed. We’ll all then need to help spread the word at such short notice !
They are Earth-loving urban activists who protect bees, oppose police brutality and create dramatic actions to inspire climate change activism.
Here’s the copy for the London show

A four day festival beyond hedonism powered by wind, sun and people… just the best!
Educate for sustainability, create alternatives, frolic in fields. Powered by wind, sun & people, and Food by Veggies. Veggies hope again to be supporting a Co-operators Camp together with Radical Routes & others, in the Campaigns Zone.
We are continuing to push forward our minimal packaging policies – extending the use of proper mugs to serving soft drinks in returnable beakers, to reduce use of single use plastics & straws. We have now established distribution of our Ethical Consumer Best Buy Burger/Sosage Mixes to many other caterers to help raise their ethical sourcing and ended the production of frozen foods. We have increased the hemp in the mix and aim soon to sourced our herbs, and possibly our hemp, from Bradley Nook Farm who, in 2017, donated it’s beef herd to all-life rescue and is transitioning, with our support, to vegan organic growing.

No Earth First Summer Gathering this year – instead Earth First is calling for a Summer Dispersal of Decentralised Days of Resistance.
Concerns around the spread of the virus mean we feel it’s safest not to organise a mass gathering this year but the need to actively resist capitalism and ecological destruction has never been greater.
Covid 19, climate change, racial inequality, poverty: These are all symptoms of a broken system that sees the earth’s resources as infinite, purely for human use and abuse, without a thought for the consequences, and which prioritises profit above all else and oppresses and divides people along racial, gender, class and other lines to maintain its power.
Nottingham YouthStrike4Climate will be taking to the streets of Nottingham to demand an end to the climate crisis under the title “Love Your Planet; Strike For It!”.
In addition, we still need to organise some of the details for the day and so we are having an open planning meeting which all groups and individuals are welcome to attend.
Join us as we take part in this nationally co-ordinated call to action and take to the streets of Nottingham to demand a solution to the climate crisis! Show the world what you love about our shared environment and be a part of the fightback for its defence.
This is our world and we will fight those who are destroying it!

The 2019 Earth First Summer Gathering is happening at a squatted rural site near Durham.
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, climate criminals and more, followed by an action on Monday.
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!
The Gathering will have parallel workshops coordinated as an embedded UK Animal Rights Gathering.
Veggies will coordinate Campaign Catering, as well as a cafe space, tuck shop, vegan cake baking workshops and may host a PM Press Bookstall. To help Contact Veggies.
Collect fliers & posters for the Summer Gathering from at Green Futures Field, at the & many other events at
