At 9.15PM tonight Climate Camp took the site on RBS HQ. Get on site as fast as you can! Defence help urgently needed. Come to RBS Gogarburn Gardens, off Gogar Station Rd. More info later. x
The Camp for Climate Action comes to Edinburgh this week, for four days of training and direct action. This year they are targeting the Royal Bank of Scotland.
During the camp Coal Action Scotland are organising a trip to Cousland, Growing Resistance.
Things have been busy enough here for the last while and if your thinking of paying us a visit to the camp then now is a good time to come. As always there's lots of different things to be doing from campaign work, to gardening to camp maintenance.
