Other News - June 2018

History of Activism. We shared information about Beatrice’s video project and Shaun passed on suggestions for what we could do to celebrate our successes - e.g. Big Ask Campaign and solar panels.

BaseCamp. Richard gave some feedback on the main messages. Plenty on all major campaigning issues: fracking, air pollution, bees, plastics etc. Links between social justice and environmental justice were emphasised (and the rich have a much bigger carbon footprint than the poor); need to give strong messages e.g.  awareness we have “a climate emergency”
