Waar: Rhineland open pit mines, Germany
Wanneer: 14/06/2018 - 11:51
In 2018 there will be Ende Gelände mass acts of civil disobedience against coal again! We want to protect the Hambacher Forst and put an end to coal mining. Therefore we will be there when the RWE cutting season starts in October or November in the Rhineland mining area. The action will also take place if the cutting season is cancelled. Because even if this was the case, there would still be plenty of reasons to fight for the end of coal mining and climate justice now!
Call for action: Exit coal mining, Hambi stays! Being at the Hambach Forest in October, at the place of resistance against climate destruction!
Ende Gelände calls for taking a stand in October 2018 at the Hambach Forest against coal mining and the absurd compulsion for growth. The break-off edge at the open-mining pit close by is eating its way into the countryside. Only a small part of the once enormous forest remains. At the same time – after the successful prevention to clearing in 2017 – the Hambi is becoming a vibrant symbol of resistance against the fossil energy industry and capitalism for larger amounts of people. With thousands of people we will support the fight for climate justice in October with a mass action of civil disobedience.
An outline for October:
It would be great if you could arrive on the 25th of October in order to have enough time to prepare the action together. As for the date of departure we suggest Monday, the 29th of October. This way there will be enough time for aftercare and reflection of our action and to wrap things up together. We would also like to encourage you to stay for some time longer in the area and to support the support the Hambach forest okupation!

We want to strengthen our movement and broadly distribute important skills. Therefore we organize trainings and knowledge sharing. Maybe there’s an activist climate group close to you and you can connect. And even if there isn’t a group already – why not start one right where you’re at? ????
