Reclaim Power - Dec 16

The global movement for climate justice is sitting on the eve of its great awakening. Tomorrow is Reclaim Power, an internationally organized action targetting the COP negotiations in Copenhagen. For the last year, social justice and climate activists have been working together to bring together the Global South and North into one organized effort to bring the COP15 negotiations to its knees - for a day.

On December 16th we would like to put our agenda on the table. For one day we would not like talks revolving around carbon offsets, agro-business, CCS and other false solutions. Instead we would like to highlight what really needs to be done in order to save our climate, such as leaving fossil fuels in the ground, developing local and decentralized agricultural practices, protecting bio-diversity, and addressing the massive climate debt accumulated by the Northern industrial economies.

The three main objectives of Reclaim Power are to

1) Disrupt the COP
2) Have outside groups break through the barriers to enter the Bella Centre grounds.
3) Create a People's Assembly in front of the Bella Centre.

History will judge us not by our success or failure but for the fact that we tried.
