This summer a Climate Action Camp will take place Dunham (an hour southeast of Montreal) from August 7th-23rd, with the dates of August 18-22 set as “Convergence Days” of workshops and actions. The camp promises to be a really concrete way to build on the actions and reflections taking part across the continent. Please join us there! We will put updates about the camp on our site, and also check here for further information in the coming weeks: www.uncampement.net

As a friend once said, there are many things the industry needs to keep going.
Knowing what it needs helps us know what we need to target in order to stop or slow it down.
What does it need?
Money: Investments and Loans
People/Labour: Temporary Foreign Workers, other skilled labour
Land: Often on Indigenous territories
Access to Water
Access to Energy
Refineries
Pipelines
Political Support
Relaxed regulations at local and global levels
What else…….?
How can we effectively make these things harder to access, or put more pressure on them?
