Hi,
The Climate Justice Coalition is organising events on Saturday 12th November. According to their website, the day “will see mass mobilisations across the country and put thousands of people on the streets to demand Climate Justice in solidarity with the Global Day of Action called by Egyptian groups at COP27”. Demos are planned in many major cities and towns, and more details can be found here: https://climatejustice.uk/cop27/?link_id=1&can_id=f1d5993461a539ea63d8e2b636fca5eb&source=email-the-cost-of-living-crisis-is-a-climate-crisis-video-tuc-demo-tomorrow-2&email_referrer=email_1709538&email_subject=online-rally-for-climate-justice-monday-24th-nov-12-mass-mobilisations
If any branches or members are planning to attend, the ‘End Capitalism’ leaflet would be suitable for handing out. See here: https://groups.io/g/spintcom/files/8.%20Ancillary%20%28learning%20and%20publicity%20materials%29/Publicity%20Materials/Leaflets/end%20capitalism%20KSRB%20version.pdf Stocks have recently been printed and are at Head Office, and please let me know if anyone would like some sent out.
many thanks,

There’s only a week to go before the Climate Justice Coalition’s events next Saturday. If anyone else would like a batch of leaflets sent out to them to hand out, please let me know and we’ll see if there’s still time to send some on.
Went to leaflet this. Their aim seems to be to build up a mass movement to bring pressure on governments to bring about “climate justice” by doing something to stop climate change.
Some agreed with our leaflet’s title — End Capitalism. One person was against the idea being raised as it might put off people who were for “climate justice” but not necessarily against capitalism. I guess this will be the view of the organisers too. But of course this begs the question by assuming that governments could do something lasting and effective about the threat of global over-warming.
Surprisingly radical leaflet from War on Want which said:
“People say our economic and social system is broken, but it isn’t. The system is rigged. It generates increasing wealth for the already rich and powerful at the expense of the majority of the people on this Earth.”
“Billionaires, corporations and oligarchs measure success by their bank balance, or by share prices, and by holidays in space. Where we see climate breakdown, poverty and injustice — they see nothing but profit.”
“It is the relentless pursuit of profit for the few which is causing the misery of the many, and pushing the planet to the point of no return.”
But then they fall at the last hurdle:
“Stand with us now, and demand a Global Green Deal for People and Planet.”
They are a registered charity. I wonder if at sone point they won’t get done by the Charity Commission for being political. But if they can away with this sort of language as a charity, good luck to them.
