Over the weekend over 70 people, from 10 countries, and from 25 different groups and struggles were hosted in Amsterdam in a beautiful art activist space, fed amazing vegan food, and generally enjoyed each other's company. We also had important meetings. Full minutes will follow. But we wanted to send this short note now to share the positive vibes and to summarize the outcomes.

Fundamentally we all want to continue to stay connected as a network, to share, learn and mobilize together. The Climate Justice Action Network (CJA) was useful in 2015, but there are lots of things that need to develop and improve.

To do that we have set up some working groups looking at:

• Communication channels, including website
• Creating opportunities on and offline for sharing skills, knowledge and experiences
• Diversity and outreach to other struggles and groups
• Process, organization and facilitation
• Taking forward a conversation about clarifying the identifying principles and values of CJA
• Taking forward a conversation about whether CJA itself should call for actions

The working groups will each introduce themselves to this list, including how others can get involved.

We also discussed actions. There are many actions being planned across the region. Some of the actions discussed have an international call for mobilization, for example Ende Gelende in East Germany in May, the COP 22 in Morocco in November, and the TTIP Games in Belgium around the EU in November.

We plan to meet again in the summer after we have had time to recover from Breakfree! and a call out will be sent nearer the time. In the mean time please use this list to share information about your plans and projects.

Please distribute this email to your groups. If someone wants to join the CJA email list they should email coordination-climate-actions-2015-subscribe@lists.riseup.net
