Kingsnorth: Breaching Bail To Attend

Ellen Potts, Oli Rodker, Johnathan Stevensen, Paul Morozzo, and Mel Evans:

"The climate camp is designed to challenge not just the expansion of coal but the idea that progress can only be attained through growth and the extension of "free" market ideologies. We need new ways of thinking and acting that put people and the planet we all live on back at the heart of things. We need a just transition away from fossil fuels. That is the singular and urgent task of this generation and that's what the Climate Camp is all about."

"On Monday at 3pm, we intend to breach our bail conditions and join hundreds, maybe thousands of others at the climate camp. We do not take this decision lightly; the legal implications are very serious. We may be arrested and jailed for our determination to be at the camp. Scientists tell us that from this week we have just 100 months to solve climate change. That's not long; from this moment on every week counts."
