Rising Tide NA, with a lot of support from other groups, have just set up a new website with information from the grassroots, for the grassroots radical and progressive response to Hurricane Gustav and those that have followed. They are currently receiving and collating information from a dozen or so groups in the area.
On the Friday of the Camp for Climate Action, four intrepid Rising Tiders left the site to bring the battle over a new power station at Kingsnorth to the doorstep of the Royal Bank of Scotland, which is one of E.ON's biggest financial backers, and to highlight the links between the financial sector, the fossil fuel industry, and disastrous climate change.
Rising Tiders across the country are decamping en masse to the Camp for Climate Action, and we can't wait! If you're looking to get involved in climate action once you get home, Rising Tide just might be for you. There will be plenty of chances to find out more about the RT network at the camp and meet up with people who are involved. Keep an eye out for us in your neighbourhood, come and see us at our stall, or best of all come to one of our workshops:
Climate Campers and friends, including Rising Tiders, put a fresh dent in E.ON’s tarnished reputation with a Greenwash Guerrillas demo outside the 16th July Guardian Climate Change Summit, which E.ON are sponsoring.
