Dear friends and supporters of the Veg Climate Alliance,

MAKE HISTORY ON DECEMBER 12th! CALL FOR VEG CLIMATE JUSTICE IN A CREATIVE AND SPECTACULAR WAY THAT WILL CHANGE THE WORLD!

Here’s a recent, informal update on the demo in Copenhagen on December 12th, written with the kind support of Carlos, the local coordinator of FoEI:

FoE is welcoming  people and organizations that support the idea of climate justice to the “Flood for Climate Justice” in Copenhagen, Denmark, the 12th of December at 10 AM that will start from Nørrebro train station. From there we will make a colorful celebration of people’s empowerment and climate justice. This will be a peaceful non-violent event where people will demand action in a positive but powerful way non the less. The main motive of the demonstration will be that of a flood, and participants are encouraged to express it in a creative way; if you wish you can discuss your ideas with Carlos, so we will have a good theme coordination. Comment on this post to have your ideas noted.

The demo will consist in a march of about 3 kms that will finish at about 1:00 PM. Afterwards, a 7-and-half-km-march organized by the Danish Climate Movement will start at probably 01:30 PM at Christianborg, the Danish Parliament, at walking distance from where the “Flood for Climate Justice“ ends. FoE is collaborating with them and encourages participants of the flood demo to participate in the Christianborg demo as well, which will go to the Bella Center, where the COP15 climate summit will take place.

If you would like to join, please make your accommodation arrangements in Copenhagen ASAP, because hotels etc. are already booked. At the moment, accommodation is still available in private homes through New Life Copenhagen, but they will soon run out of spaces: http://www.newlifecopenhagen.com

Climate-friendly transportation by train or bus will be in arranged by the national groups of FoEI (like Belgian FoE, FrenchFoE, BUND Naturschutz in Germany). Please get in touch with your local group for further info.

More detailed information will be provided by FoEI later. Keep checking their website at: http://www.foei.org/en/what-we-do/un-climate-talks/global/2009/the-flood-is-coming
