The Emergency isn’t going away. Neither are we. Today the Government ordered police to seize tents, toilets and disabled access equipment – the very things that would make the International Rebellion in London safe, clean and accessible to all.
Our lawyers advise that any attempt to remove essential well being-facilities, including first aid kits and essential sanitation, would be an abuse of police powers and an unlawful attempt to frustrate the exercise of the fundamental rights of freedom of assembly and freedom of expression.
9 people have so far been arrested on conspiracy to cause a public nuisance and conspiracy to obstruct the highway. The goods and 6 vehicles were secured by force from a warehouse in South London.
his escalation of pre-emptive tactics by the Government and police is a sign that we are being heard and acknowledged as a significant movement. We ask that the Government focus their attention and resources on responding to the Climate and Ecological Emergency which threatens us all.
The Government can take our structures, but we remain resolute in our preparation for the Rebellion. We call for rebels to remain adaptable, creative and joyful whatever we are presented with.
If anyone would like to help us replace the equipment that was taken, please bring what you can so that our Rebellion can remain safe and open to everyone. For any items that require support to get to London please email LastMinuteRebellionOffers@protonmail.com. We need:
* Kitchen equipment – cooking urns and big thermos flasks
* Wheelie bins
* Gazebos and big tents
* 250 watt solar panels and 12 volt car batteries
* Sound equipment and staging
* Pre-cooked food that’s ready to eat
* Water proofs, massive umbrellas and hot water bottles
The Emergency isn’t going away, and neither are we. We remain deeply committed to our aims.
If you can, please help [ Ссылка ] replace the equipment that was taken by the police today, and/or please bring what you can to London for and on Monday so that our International Rebellion can remain safe and open to everyone. Thanks!
No matter what the Government does we still have:
* Our unity and numbers – Tens of thousands of people preparing to rise up in London in Rebellion together
* Our creativity – We are well-prepared and resourced to respond to any police and government action
* Our regenerative culture – We are committed to a future where our cultures are resilient and built on love and respect for one another, all other forms of life, and the planet that sustains us. A future where we survive.
* Our nonviolent discipline – This is a grounded state we can carry within us, that can’t be touched by external circumstances. History shows us that this is possible.
This is all we need to be engaged in successful, peaceful mass civil disobedience.
