Thursday September 11th 2014: Hands off the trees! Call for action in the Hambacher Forest, Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm. With the screening of the Hambacher Forest movie (german with english subtitles) that was finished in 2014.
Time for Action! Cutting season starts in october! We won‘t just stand and watch! Every autumn the forest prepares for the sleepy wintertime. The leaves fall off the trees, the squirrels hide the last nuts and the activists insolate their tree houses. Every being is looking forward to a cold but quiet and peaceful time. But with the beginning of october, the machines intrude the Hambach Forest again. Humans and so-called “Harvester” (big machines for cutting trees) will not grant any rest to the forest and forward the cutting barrier for another 200m towards the camp, to kill more of the already wounded Hambach Forest. But if they won‘t let the forest sleep, we don‘t want to rest either.
There’s innumerable possibilities to interfere, let it be by direct action, confusion or the expansion of the occupation.
So for all those, who don‘t have the time or energy to spend a long time in the forest, there is enough ways to support the struggle: Get your affinity group (people you trust), sit together, be creative and think of an action you would like to do in the forest – on the action weekends, but also on any other day.
If you want to come on your own, you can join in on the bigger monthly action days or come whenever you want and support us in making a difference!

If you need other information you can send us your questions via mail or phone or personally with the activists in the forest.
The motto for the cold days:
Adrenaline instead of Hibernation and what is wet and cold will, if put next to the oven, with tea and company, be warm and dry again in no time !
