SUMAC Meeting 12th Jan '80

CLIMATE ACTION MOVEMENT-BUILDING

Full minutes

Key points of meeting at SUMC

Saturday 12th January 2008

Approx 15 people present.

Key decisions:

1. DAYS OF ACTION

a) To publicise at least 3 national days of action prior to whatever major activity
we organise in July, as follows:

  • The 'Fossil Fools' day (already called by Rising Tide) on April 1st
  • A day of action on capitalism's 'false solutions' to climate change on May 1st
    (e.g. biofuels, nuclear, carbon trading, 'clean coal').
  • A day of action on food on or around June 1st (n.b there is a UN international
    food security conference on June 3rd-5th).
  • b) To set up a working group to co-ordinate these days of action.

    c) To request that the media and networking teams support these days of action.

    2. NETWORK FOR CLIMATE ACTION

    a) To propose to the Leeds gathering that it adopts the Network for Climate Action
    identity, with the climate camp or whatever we do as a major activity within the
    network, to make it clear that we are a network which aims to be active throughout
    the country for 53 weeks per year (not just for one week in one place!)

    b) To set up groups to work on

    • Electronic information networking/info-sharing: website, email groups, news
      updates, discussion forums
    • Group support: skills share, collating resources.
    • Facilitation: strategy, meetings, finances.
    • Networking: Media, outreach
    • Coordinating national days of action (as above).
