Eco-Action: The Drax-29 trial comes to York
Posted August 27th, 2008 by AnonymousAs some of you reading this might recall, 29 people stopped and occupied a coal train heading to Drax Power Station some months back. Their case is being moved to York Crown Court, making us the obvious organisers for solidarity stuff, and giving us some opportunities of the "solid gold" sort for generating more eco-action in the city. This meeting will look at two things: the initial hearing on 7th October, and the sorts of stuff we want to offer/facilitate/create in the next few months.

Climate Change Camp established
Posted August 27th, 2006 by AnonymousThe Climate camp is now well established. A few hundred activists are settled in and having a great time. Workshops on everything from Deep ecology to Direct Action training and Salsa are going on as I type this.
There is a sizeable police presence around the site but, as yet, they are being relatively friendly. Being welcomed at the station by a policeman greeter who directed us to where the shuttlebus was waiting was quite a nice experience but they have already started to get impatient and they have imposed a Section 60 notice.
