Tools for Social Change

which aim to inspire action since 2004.

There is a pretty amazing event on this Saturday organised by the New Economics Foundation amongst others. Its all at:

http://thebiggerpicture2009.org/

I am doing a couple of things there which include:

1. Speakers corner: Resistance is futile? Can protest save the planet in time? 14.00 – 15.15

Direct action from environmental campaigners is increasingly hitting the news, and there are victories to be claimed. Media coverage from high profile cases such as the Kingsnorth Six and the Drax coal train mean protest is rarely out of the news. With Ed Miliband claiming he wants a movement akin to a new suffragettes, is this wave of protest having an impact on policy makers- and can it make a difference in time?

With John Sauven, Executive Director of Greenpeace, Ann Pettifor, member of the Green New Deal Group and nef fellow and Dr Paul Chatterton, Leeds University.

Chaired by Nick Deardon, Director of the Jubilee Debt Campaign.

2. Workshop Building Your Own community: a DIY Guide 15.30 – 16.30
