Tonight some people from the Hambacher forrest occupation are coming to show a movie about their story of resistance against large-scale brown coal mining in the German Ruhr area. Also they are mobilising for the Re­sis­tan­ce Skills­ha­ring Camp against the scheduled clear cutting of 200m of ancient forest in the period 26.9. – 6.​10.


Time for Ac­tion!

-​-​Cut­ting se­a­son starts in oc­to­ber! We won‘t just stand and watch! ---

Every au­tumn the fo­rest pre­pa­res for the slee­py win­ter­ti­me. The lea­ves fall off the trees, the squir­rels hide the last nuts and the ac­tivists in­su­la­te their tree hou­ses.

Every being is look­ing for­ward to a cold but quiet and peace­ful time.
But with the be­gin­ning of oc­to­ber, the ma­chi­nes in­tru­de the Ham­bach Fo­rest again.
Hu­mans and so-​cal­led “Har­vester” (big ma­chi­nes for cut­ting trees) will not grant any rest to the fo­rest and for­ward the cut­ting bar­ri­er for ano­ther 200m towards the camp, to kill more of the al­re­a­dy woun­ded Ham­bach Fo­rest.
But if they won‘t let the fo­rest sleep, we don‘t want to rest eit­her.

There’s in­nu­me­ra­ble pos­si­bi­li­ties to in­ter­fe­re, let it be by di­rect ac­tion, con­fu­si­on or the ex­pan­si­on of the oc­cupa­ti­on.
So for all those, who don‘t have the time or en­er­gy to spend a long time in the fo­rest, there is en­ough ways to sup­port the strugg­le: Get your af­fi­ni­ty group (peop­le you trust), sit to­ge­ther, be crea­ti­ve and think of an ac­tion you would like to do in the fo­rest – on the ac­tion weekends, but also on any other day.
If you want to come on your own, you can join in on the big­ger month­ly ac­tion days or come whe­ne­ver you want and sup­port us in ma­king a dif­fe­rence!

Ac­tion maps you find here: http://hambacherforst.blogsport.de/infos-zum-wald/aktionskarten/

Other in­for­ma­ti­on will fol­low on this post or you can send us your ques­ti­ons via mail or phone or per­so­nal­ly with the ac­tivists in the fo­rest.

The motto for the cold days:

Ad­re­na­li­ne in­s­tead of Hi­ber­na­ti­on and what is wet and cold will, if put next to the oven, with tea and com­pa­ny, be warm and dry again in no time !
