People's Climate March London

The important World Leaders' Climate Summit in New York happening in September will be a key moment in the fight against climate change. There is already a March organised in New York, which aims to be the biggest climate demonstration the US has ever seen. There are calls for there to be a UK People's Climate March in solidarity with those who are marching in New York.

Campaign against Climate Change is helping to organise this march along with many other organisations such as Avaaz, 350.org, UKYCC, People & Planet, Operation Noah, Wake Up London, Art Not Oil, BP or not BP, UCL Students' Union, Rising Tide...

The next planning meeting will be held on Tuesday 12th of August from 7pm to 9pm. Location: UCL Chadwick Building Ground Floor, Room G07.

The Empowerment Manual: A Guide for Collaborative Groups by Starhawk http://www.starhawk.org/writings/empowerment_manual.html

Collaborative organizations have the unique potential to harness their members’ ideals, passions, skills, and knowledge—if they can succeed in getting along together. The Empowerment Manual is a comprehensive guide for groups seeking to organize with shared power and bottom-up leadership to foster vision, trust, accountability and responsibility. This desperately needed toolkit provides keys to:

• understanding group dynamics
• facilitating communication and collective decision-making
• dealing effectively with difficult people

Drawing on four decades of experience, Starhawk shows how collaborative groups can generate the cooperation, efficacy and commitment critical to success. Her extensive exploration of group process is woven together with the story of RootBound—a fictional ecovillage mired in conflict— and rounded out with a series of real-life case studies. The included exercises and facilitator’s toolbox show how to establish the necessary structures, ground rules and healthy norms. The Empowerment Manual is required reading for anyone who wants to help their group avoid disagreement and disillusionment and become a wellspring of creativity and innovation.

Behind the Iraqi crisis: the crushing of the nonviolent Sunni uprising

http://peacenews.info/node/7709/behind-iraqi-crisis-crushing-nonviolent-sunni-uprising

Milan Rai recovers the hidden background to the current crisis

The crisis in Iraq has reached truly frightening proportions, with the brutal ‘Islamic State in Iraq and Syria’ (ISIS) controlling a large swathe of territory in both countries – something that may trigger the partition of Iraq.

It is easy to get the impression from the mainstream media that violent conflict between Sunni and Shia Muslims in Iraq is something that goes back millennia, and has merely re-surfaced in the recent conflict between Sunni ISIS and the Shia-dominated government of prime minister Nouri al-Maliki. This is a serious distortion of a complicated reality.

Fracking trespass law 38 degrees sign petition now last day

38 Degrees Logo



The government is trying to change the law so fracking companies can drill under our homes without our permission. [1]

They’re consulting on the plan - but only for another 24 hours. [2] So we have to act fast. Let’s flood it with opposition.

The government is sensitive to anything that might be an election issue. Fracking is becoming toxic - let’s make sure they know that voters won’t accept dirty energy companies drilling under our homes. [3]

Can you email the consultation now? It'll take just two minutes:
https://secure.38degrees.org.uk/fracking-consultation


The government is on the side of the fracking firms. [4] But they’re coming up against huge opposition. Within hours of the law’s announcement in May, 25,000 of us emailed our MPs to ask them not to back the government’s new law. And across the country communities are coming together to fight fracking on their doorsteps.

So let’s keep up the pressure. The future of fracking in the UK rests on this new law going through. Asked what would happen if it was stopped, the head of Cuadrilla, one of the biggest fracking companies, admitted: "I don't think the industry will go ahead in the UK." [5]

Fracking companies will be making sure their voices are heard. But together our voices can drown theirs out.

The consultation closes at 11.45pm tomorrow. Please email now:

Thanks for being involved,

Ali, Rebecca, Maddy and the 38 Degrees team
