Save the Climate Stop Somerton
Week 2 Day 4
Respect da climate!
You iz needed at Somerton, to stop da wack gas pipe.
The blockade of the proposed Somerton Power Station is starting to hot up
(pun intended), with many excavators and other machinery stopped for
extended periods over the past few days.
So far we have managed to slow the work on the pipeline down, but things
are now critical. The trench has almost reached the grasslands area. It is
of paramount importance that we stop them here, as once they get into this
area their scope for environmental damage increases, and they'll have a
clear run to the gas station.
As the 15th October approaches (the proponent's cut-off date to have the
pipeline completed), the pressure upon the construction company to build,
build,build increases requiring extra vigilance on our part. To have a
chance at halting this environmentally disastrous project, we need numbers
on the ground. Any amount of time that you can spend at Somerton is like a
kiss to the climate. Pucker up, bring your loved ones, and join the
climate campaign.
Bring frisbees, guitars and other fun things=85if you have skills such as
facilitation or non-violent direct action, perhaps you could take a
workshop.
Somerton is only fifteen minutes by bike from Upfield train station. The
Upfield line goes straight through Brunswick - if you don't have a bike
give us a call the night before you're arriving and we'll arrange a pick-up
from the station.
