First Mili-band of the summer

Sat, 04/07/2009 (All day)
Kingsnorth Kent

Stop Climate Chaos members Oxfam, WDM, RSPB, People & Planet, NUS, Christian Aid & the WI have got together to put on the first Mili-band of the summer, at the Kingsnorth summer fête.

On the 4th July 2009, hundreds of people will gather in Kent to send a spectacular message to Ed Miliband. It should be a fun, family-friendly day out with fête atmosphere: music, dancing, face-painting and to tell the UK government to ditch its plans to build a new dirty coal-fired power station in Kingsnorth.

The plan for the day is to form a giant human band around Kingsnorth and send an unmissable message to Ed Miliband – the government minister in charge of UK climate change policy – that a clean, low-carbon future can be the only way forward and to put poor people at the heart of the UN climate negotiations in Copenhagen this December.

Afterwards there'll be a summer fête, complete with stalls, music, and plenty for the children.
