This July, Ruckus Society, Rainforest Action Network, Global Exchange, Oil Change International and Energy Action are kicking off the Freedom from Oil Action Camp. The camp will bring a wide range of oil, climate and clean energy activists together to build the essential skills, tools and grassroots capacity to challenge the core of America's oil addiction and to discuss the impacts of our addiction, including climate change, human rights abuses, illness, peak oil, oil wars, environmental injustice, oil politics, and others.
Limited Space Available!

When: July 8 – 14, 2006
Where: In the Heartland, in Southern Indiana
What: By day, participants will learn hard skills to build strategic and synergistic campaigns.
