MANCHESTER NEIGHBOURHOOD AT THE CAMP FOR CLIMATE ACTION


A CAMP IN THE NORTH OF ENGLAND TO BRING TOGETHER THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE AND SHARE AND LIVE PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS.

Do Summat are trying to kickstart the organising for a neighbourhood at the camp for climate action. See here for info about the camp.

We want to organise to have a space at the camp where we can live together for the 10 days including a kitchen, meeting space and camping space. Also to help the camp as a whole in promoting it beforehand and encourgaing people from Manchester to get involved in working groups to set up and run the camp.

We meed every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of every month at The Basement, 24 Lever St M1 (off piccadilly gardens)

(please be aware of this space's current access problems- via a flight of stairs)

meetings for those wishing to be part of the manchester neighbourhood at the camp for climate action, and also build up links of people in manchester wanting to take action on climate change.
