Roll up, roll up! The climate circus is in town.
Confronted with melting ice caps, unprecedented species extinction, droughts and extreme weather, climate change threatens our very survival. The fools at the head of the fossil fuel empire continue to plunder the earth, with the governments as willing court jesters at their side.They would have us believe that we can escape climate change with techno-fixes, market mechanisms and offset schemes – all technocratic acrobatics that distract us from the truth: the only real solution to climate change is to keep fossil fuels in the ground.
On April 1st, 2008, we’re going to turn the tables and show them who the real fools are.
This Sunday, your local pranksters will be in town to share their bag of tricks for the Fossil Fools industry. Want to plug in on April 1st? Here’s your chance! We’ll share the skills, resources, and give you all the info you need for high-impact action. Topics covered include consensus-based decision making, what is direct action, security culture, basic guide to roles in an action, strategies and tactics (i.e. blockades, demonstrations, occupations, media stunts, phone/email/website/fax clogs), know-your-rights, jail solidarity, media/messaging, health and safety, and affinity groups.

WHAT TO BRING: Water, food, and a friend!
