“Squatting is under threat ... laws are being drafted in parliament to make squatting a criminal offence, effectively criminalising homelessness. SQUATTASTIC is a networking and solidarity event, where concerned members of the squatting community gather to discuss and share alternatives and directions.

We wish to extend the network to the national level, so are calling out to representatives from across the country to come down to meet us and get involved.”

Tuesday 19th July, 6.45pm. Fracking Hell? Shale gas public meeting

"Fracking" is coming to the UK! Will we be able to set light to our tap
water as has happened in the US? Will we see contamination of groundwater,exploding basements and all the rest? Is this the time for the UK to be developing a new source of fossil fuel anyway? What will the exploitation of shale gas mean for the UK and the world? What should we do about it? What can we do to stop it?”

Saturday 23rd July, 12pm. The Spuds Don't Work rally

“British trials of genetically modified blight resistant spuds have been failing for the last ten years. But a conventionally bred variety of blight resistant potatoes has been available for 3 years. So why are we still paying for their dangerous experiment?

Come ride with us on the back of a trailor load of safe effective spuds as we go to deliver them to the Sainsbury Laboratory outside Norwich. It's one of only two possible open air trials for GM crops in Britain this year. Yet despite being publicly funded, it's so secretive no one will even say if it's been planted. Join us for tunes, chips and good cheer as we go and show them that we have already got the answers they say they're looking for.”

“Please join us for the 7th annual protest outside the AGM of Vedanta Resources, the now infamous UK registered Indian mining company who have this year been exposed by the Indian government for serial environmental and human rights violations. We stand in solidarity with the Dongria Kondh and other inhabitants of Niyamgiri and Lanjigargh who have lost land, health and livelihood to Vedanta’s refinery, and faced repression and struggle in fighting Vedanta’s plans for a 73 million tonne bauxite mine and a six fold increase in the refinery’s capacity. We oppose Vedanta’s attempted take-over of British Oil company Cairn Energy who plan to drill in Greenland and Sri Lanka.”
