Reclaim Power

On the 16th December 2009 people united in Copenhagen to demonstrate about Climate Change and at the start of the high-level ministerial phase of the two-week summit, the movements for global justice attempt a take over of the conference for a day and transform it into a Peoples Assembly.

The goal was to disrupt the sessions and open a space inside the UN area to hold the Assembly. The assembly will give a voice to those who are not being heard, it will be an opportunity to change the agenda, to discuss the real solutions, to send a clear message to the world calling for climate justice.

The Peoples Assembly, in opposition to the false solutions being negotiated at the Climate Summits, highlight alternatives that provide real and just solutions: leaving fossil fuels in the ground; reasserting peoples and community control over resources; relocalising food production; massively reducing overconsumption, particularly in the North; recognising the ecological and climate debt owed to the peoples of the South and making reparations; and respecting indigenous and forest peoples rights.

Very good video!

Because of the G20 now I was reminded of this protest, and how a guy with a camera asked me what I thought about it.

I remember stuttering, because I had just seen people being hit with batons for the first time, and It didn't seem real to me yet. Surprisingly, it seems like I almost made a coherent statement about the absurdity of the situation, but in my memory it was all gibberish :)

anyways, found it! and favorited it :)
