Action: Sat 16th Oct

The Crude Awakening is a huge huge mass action in London on Saturday 16th October. A wake-up call to the world that we need to reduce our dependence on oil right now. A thousand people are going to be there and we need YOU to be a part of history. More info's at http://www.crudeawakening.org.uk/.
