You are invited to the upcoming workshops in and around the Bus of Environmental Justice Resistance - Poverty, Inequalities and the links with Climate Change
Anti-poverty and Climate Change campaigners, who often work independently come together to expose the links between poverty, welfare reform and climate change. Workshops throughout the year and the Bus will provide a unique opportunity for both the older and new generation of campaigning activists, organisations and the people directly affected by poverty and pollution to learn and benefit from each others' experience and expertise. This is a ‘popular education’ event designed to enable the creation of a ‘tool kit’ for action. The bus will host a series of radical, creative, public interventions at sites which cause environmental and social disaster. The Bus of Resistance is planned for later in 2010 and will be a celebratory journey symbolically linking oppressed communities in acts of creative resistance. It will be a day to remember.
