On a chilly Saturday afternoon on 27th of November, Oxford street shoppers were distracted by the launch of London Rising Tide's sales and advertising team's new product, Nothing(c).
The 10-year anniversary of Rising Tide is upon us this week! Isn’t that amazing – 10 years! So many actions, materials, trainings, reports, films, support for numerous other groups around the world and a growing international network… not to mention just a few meetings ;)
On the 29th of September there will be a solidarity demonstration in Copenhagen starting at 17:00 at Gammeltorv, in support of Stine Gry Jonassen and Tannie Nyboe, two spokespersons for the Climate Justice Action network (CJA) who will go on trial the 6th of October. They are accused of 'organizing' the Reclaim Power – Push for Climate Justice demonstration on the 16th of December in Copenhagen. We call out for everyone to act in solidarity on the 29th of September through demonstrations and statements of support and solidarity, including demonstrations and manifestations outside Danish embassies, demanding that the charges be dropped against Stine and Tannie.
RT-UK is supporting this call-out with a diversity of targets at national level. Join us!

Global Mobilization for Mother Earth
The Earth is a live being and is seriously ill. We, her inhabitants, are those who are affecting her with the virus of developmentalism. We inhabit an ocean called the atmosphere, as fish live in water. Without it, there would be no life, because it contains oxygen and water, together with the forests and rains that give sustenance to live beings. But we are affecting her terribly.
Jyri Antero Jaakkola – February 11, 1977 - April 27, 2010
Loosely translated from Finnish:
“If by my own presence, I have the chance to prevent the violence; that would be the thing to do...” Jyri, in an interview before traveling to Mexico.
BP Shareholders Annual General Meeting, ExCel Conference Centre, London, Thu 15 Apr 10 – At the apex of the 'BP Fortnight of Shame', at the entrance to the BP AGM, climate chaos and human rights activists persuaded BP shareholders to vote for the FairPensions anti-Tar-Sands motion. Mobilised by the UK Tar Sands Network, Rising Tide and Climate Camp, we let BP shareholders know, in no uncertain terms, that BP + TAR SANDS = CLIMATE CRIME.

Copenhagen, December 2009
The highly anticipated UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen
ended with a fraudulent agreement, engineered by the United States
and dropped into the conference at the last moment. The
"agreement" was not adopted. Instead, it was "noted" in an absurd
parliamentary invention designed to accommodate the United States
and permit Ban Ki-moon to utter the ridiculous pronouncement "We
have a deal."
Call out to join the co-mutiny!

Solidarity with Vestas workers
4 August 2009
On Tuesday 4th August, protesters (including Bristol Rising Tide) descended on the Bristol Headquarters of the Environment Agency in Aztec West carrying windmills and banners to support the action of Vestas workers who have occupied the St Cross wind turbine factory on the Isle of Wight for the last two weeks because of plans to close the site with the immediate loss of 600 jobs. A further two solidarity demos took place on Friday 7th August. A couple of Bristol RT'ers also visted the Isle of Wight.
Here's a bulletin from the Climate Camp's London neighbourhood:
'Hello London Climate Campers,
This is a weekly bulletin from and for the London climate camp group. The main thing this week is our big post-camp meeting on Saturday - we strongly encourage you to come along and bring your friends!
