We have two key areas to discuss:

1. Activating and Growing CCC groups.

2.The role of these groups, including working with other groups.

Bearing these matters of discussion in mind we are looking for people to represent each of the CCC-Scotland groups; Edn, Glgw, Dundee, Aberdeen. We are also keen that anyone involved in Stop Climate Chaos affiliated groups comes along so we can work together.

There's another good review here by the same author, Rebecca Solnit, which is slightly more US-centric, focussing on the Ivory Billed Woodpecker, Cindy Sheehan and Hurricane Katrina

CCC-Aberdeen journey to Edinburgh

2005-12-07T11:18:00.000-08:00

The Edinburgh march was a great success with around 400 people in attendance. The mood for action was very posotive and, speaking for CCC-Aberdeen here, i think we where all heartened to se such a motivated group of people, and we are all ready to get back on the campaign and start raising awareness locally.

The rally ended at the scottish parliment building where we heard Mark Ballard(green party), Mark Lazarowicz (labour) , Duncan McLaren (foe) and Ruth Cameron (Edinburgh student union) speak about the importance of action on climate change and, specifically, of our campaign.

The talks can be listened to here.
