Dear friends,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This newsletter sheds some light onto what we are planning. How we do our stuff, why we are planning an act of civil disobedience and about the place we are targeting. You’ll also find an invite to the next prep meeting!<\/div>\n

1. P\u00f6delwitz and the Climate camp<\/b><\/div>\n
This year’s Kohle erSetzen! is happening in the lignite mining region around Leipzig, Germany. Many of you may not yet know much about this area. This is one of the main places in Germany where lignite is extensively mined and burned for electricity. Lignite is especially environmentally damaging, and the villages here are just as affected by lignite mining as in the other such regions. But exactly because this area is not in the spotlights we want this year’s action to take place here. The small village P\u00f6delwitz is very much in danger and we want to support the community that lives in P\u00f6delwitz in their fight against coal.<\/div>\n
So this year we are back at the Climate Camp – this time Climate Camp Leipzig. The camp will begin with Degrowth Summer School workshops. The days of action will begin after Summer School finishes. Thus education and action phases are clearly separated, but of course you may head to Climate Camp before the action days start. More information about the camp here:<\/div>\n

2. Why civil disobedience?<\/b><\/div>\n
Civil disobedience is deliberately crossing the line of law in order to draw attention to an injustice or to interrupt or stop the injustice. We deliberately chose this form of action because we believe it to be effective in the given circumstances. Civil disobedience provides us with some power:<\/div>\n
