SaveTheDate: Sit-in Kohle erSetzen! 3.-5. August close to Leipzig/Germany!
Last year, we – the climate and anti-coal movement – successfully put coal phase-out in the focus of macrosocial awareness. However, coal phase-out is urgent; climate change doesn’t wait after all. The German government’s filibuster forces us to increase pressure this year. Therefore, on a federal level, we will focus on the brown coal field close to Leipzig/Germany, which has received little attention so far. We will demonstrate: Complete villages in the vicinity of Leipzig are being resettled for coal-related reasons – just like in the Rhineland and the Lausitz – which is absolutely absurd.
Between August 3rd and 5th, just after the workshops at the climate camp in the area, we will disrupt the coal infrastructure operations. We will not stand by and watch dirty energy production when our future is at stake.
We deliberately decided to have a low-level action in order to enable many people to take the next step towards civil disobedience in the matter of coal, whether they are newbies or action pros.
Save the date, spread the word!
We will be particularly happy about you mentioning the event in your action calendars and newsletters or incorporating our web banner in your websites.
Let us socially de-legitimise the coal industry in Germany and worldwide!

If you want to take part in the action, it would be great if you could arrive on Thursday evening, the 2nd of August. The action preparation starts on Friday after the camp plenary at 9 am – to be well prepared and self-confident during our action of civil disobedience we need to cover all kinds of stuff together beforehand.
