climate justice

After the hectic days in Copenhagen, after the amazing and very intense days of the SOCIAL AND CLIMATE JUSTICE CARAVAN's journey from the anti-WTO protests in Geneva to getting to Denmark to demand "SYSTEM CHANGE, NOT CLIMATE CHANGE"... Participating in direct actions, dealing with police repression and arrests, remaining confident that we can make change, participating in the peoples assembly outside the bella centre....

Finally, we headed back to our home communities to continue to build on the work we only started in Copenhagen.

Yesterday saw the first day of action against the false solutions being proposed by COP15, including the capitalist model. Thousands took to the streets of Copenhagen in Denmark under the chants, banners and action of "Our Climate, Not Your Business". As expected when thousands of angry youths mostly dressed in black take to the streets in an unauthorized demonstration the police prepare with their usual tools; Big cops, Riot cops, vans, dogs... But people were not expecting was to see big men in army fatigues wandering around the streets too.
