Ende Gelände, will share strategies from Germany’s wildly successful mass mobilization. Webinar hosted by Rising Tide North America
More Info Here:
The German climate movement is on the brink of stopping coal. We’re talking –> a 6,000 person coal mine occupation, blocking train tracks to stop a coal fired plant from producing electricity, and dozens of grassroots-lead nationwide mobilizations all standing in the way of the country’s biggest environmental polluters. Let’s bring that mass organizing here!!
Ende Gelände (“Here and No Further”) invaded mining pits, slept on the railways, and made the connection between climate chaos and capitalism by exposing the dirty truth behind the German energy transition “Energiewende”.
The German climate justice movement’s success is just another example of how change happens when the grassroots leads with mass mobilization, direct action, and cooperation across tactical differences. We can do this!
The proposed Enbridge Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota was just delayed because of scaled grassroots and Indigenous-led resistance.
No benevolent investor, “tech disruptor”, or politician blabbering about the Green New Deal is going to make the change needed to meet the scale of the climate crisis. Rising Tide is bringing that scale of grassroots resistance here.
The webinar will start a discussion on how we mobilize the numbers needed to truly stop the fossil fuel industry, topple the systems that let it run amuck, and create truly decentralized and democratized energy systems.
As we speak, Rising Tide is traveling to 22 cities across the U.S. with Ende Gelände. Since everyone can’t make it in person. This is your chance to participate online! RSVP to the “Scaling Up The Resistance Webinar” with Ende Gelände.
