11.15 - POLITICAL STATEMENT
The February UK gathering came up with two draft political statements for
the Camp. Here we'll discuss what our common ground is as the London
neighbourhood, as well as what this kind of statement is useful for, so
that we can give feedback for the April UK gathering. Join the discussion
now at: http://discussion.climatecamp.org.uk/viewtopic.php?id=68
12.15 - LONDON WORKING GROUP TIME
A chance for London working groups to meet and plan future activities.
Current working groups include Education and Politics, Community Action,
Outreach, and Process. Also a chance to discuss upcoming actions on Tar
Sands and London City Airport.

14.00 - ACTIONS AND ACTIVITIES
What do we want to do together as the London neighbourhood in the coming
months? Do we want to do anything around the elections & the democratic
deficit? What do we want to do to target Climate Criminals in London? Do
we want to organise a summer event? Do we want to do this as the London
neighbourhood or with others from around the UK? Are there other projects
we want to take on as the London neighbourhood? Or as offshoots of the
London neighbourhood?
15.45 - TEA BREAK
16.00 - UK CAMP FOR CLIMATE ACTION
* Feedback from the UK gathering in Bristol in February.
* What do we want the April UK gathering to focus on? Which is the
priority out of Politics, Process, Strategy and Actions?

* Do we have any proposals to put forward from the London nhood?
17.00 - INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT
A handful of Climate Campers are going to the World People's Conference on
Climate Change and the Rights of Mother Earth in Cochabamba, Bolivia next
