Einladung zur Waldwoche

waldwoche-300x295

Seit Anfang März 2016 ist ein Waldstück im Rodungsgebiet des Tagebaus Nochten besetzt. Mit LAUtonomia wollen wir einen Ort des Widerstandes im Lausitzer Braunkohlereviers schaffen, einen Ort der Verständigung und der Planung. Braunkohle, Tierausbeutung, Militarismus – viel von dem, was dieses System am Laufen hält, kann in der Lausitz angetroffen und bekämpft werden.

Banner in Aachen

thumb-aachen.turm1   thumb-aachen.turm2

On May Day this banner has been hung on the Aachen Cathedral, as you can read here (german). It speaks for itself, and certainly many can agree with it.

Also otherwise currently a lot is offered in Aachen: This weekend there will be a big party in the AZ, which is starting already today! Besides of that, the exhibition about the Hambach Forest is going on in the Nadelfabrik until 13. May 13th.

On the evening of 23 April a group of saboteurs set fire to high-voltage cables at the Hambach site, preventing the place from working. Hambach forest is the scene of a protracted ecological battle against the company RWE, which is aiming to destroy the forest for coal mining. The construction operation will now suffer huge financial losses due to the successful arson.

Hambach Forest: Eviction Alert!

hambacherforestbleibt

Anti-Coal Mining Fight continues in the Rhineland in the Hambacher Forest (previously on S!N)for the 4th consecutive year with direct action, forest barricades, and three treesits/treehouse occupations: Oaktown, Beechtown, F*ck Off, and Death Trap. Sending a message to those engaging in exploitation of natural resources in the form of brown coal and other fossil fools that their destruction of natural habitats such as Hambacher Forest and ensuing global mercury and cadmium emissions combined with CO2 dumping and its global climate chaos effects will not be tolerated.
After the previous month’s clearing of barricades the forest once again has been blocked with ditches, ground, hanging and living barricades and continues to be occupied in multiplicity of platforms and treehouses. We call on you to join us and make it possible for comrades who have spent a winter and the cutting season in the forest to take a well earned rest.
