NO PIPELINES! ACTION CAMP FOR CLIMATE JUSTICE
June 6th – 9th, 2014
205 Roscoe Road, Charlotte, Vermont
Join organizers and activists from across Vermont for a weekend of workshops and trainings to deepen our collective understanding of the politics of extreme energy and take action to stop the fracked gas pipeline! With pipeline plans moving forward, it’s time to take to the streets and skill up for direct action. Learn how to plan creative actions from beginning to follow-up; from scouting the target, engaging media, and using a range of blockading skills to defend a livable planet for humans and all beings.
