Reclaim Power! Pushing for Climate Justice
New call to action – Reclaim Power!
On the 16th of December, at the start of the high-level “ministerial” phase of the two-week summit, we, the movements for global justice, will take over the conference for one day and transform it into a Peoples Assembly.
Our goal is 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.
There will be a legalized starting point, which will be announced to the media and the police. From there, the climate justice bloc will move on towards the Bella Center. Affinity groups will make their way to the border of the conference area from various directions. The aim is for all groups coming from the outside to start entering the UN Area at 10am. At the same time, groups inside the Summit will start to disrupt the sessions and mobilize people to leave the negotiations and participate in the Peoples Assembly. The assembly will start at 12pm at the main entrance to the Bella Center inside the UN Area.
Reclaim Power! is a confrontational mass action of non-violent civil disobedience. We will overcome any physical barriers that stand in our way – but we will not respond with violence if the police try to escalate the situation, nor create unsafe situations; we will be there to make our voices heard!
The Peoples Assembly, in opposition to the false solutions being negotiated at the Climate Summits, will 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.
After 15 years of negotiations and no real solutions to the climate crisis, we say enough! No more markets based solutions, no to corporate greed and short term politics deciding our future! No to colonialism and the land-grabs taking place in local and indigenous communities!
In December, we, from our many different backgrounds and movements, experiences and struggles, will come together. We are indigenous peoples and farmers, workers and environmentalists, feminists and anticapitalists.
Now, our diverse struggles for social and ecological justice are finding common ground in the struggle for climate justice, and in our desire to reclaim power over our own future.
See you on the streets!
To plan further the action in Copenhagen with as many of you as possible, there will be Action Councils from the 11th until the 17th of december.
There will be short introductions of the action, updates of the situation, legal debriefings, space for affinity groups coordination, action planning and preparation, among others.
However… start now! Organize with your friends in affinity groups, plan creatively, mobilize in your area, come before to Copenhagen to help out…
If you want to concretely get involved in the process, write to ReclaimPower@riseup.net
Reclaim Power! is organised by “Climate Justice Action” and “Climate Justice Now!”. For more information, regular updates on meetings and actions, and for news about the global struggles for climate justice, go to http://www.climate-justice-action.org

L'appel à la manifestation de Climate Justice Action, une des deux organisations responsables de l'action de hier.
Ou un fascinant fatras de revendications "slogans", qui en fligrane semblent distiller l'idée qu'une politique responsable pour le climat et l'avenir de la terre passe nécessairement par un rejet de l'ensemble du modèle social et économique "occidental".
En même temps le titre même de l'appel est assez clair, il s'agit de prendre le pouvoir. L'écologie en ce sens n'est pas un idéal, c'est une opportunité...
On peut comprendre cela dit, ça fait longtemps que ces organisations ont compris que leurs idées ouvertement défendues ne font pas recette.
Finalement, on aurait pu se marrer de voir une soit disant "assemblée du peuple" se tenir avec un ordre du jour établi par ces organisations. On aurait vite vu la véritable nature de ces organisations et courants pour lesquels l'écologie est un moyen et pas une fin...
edit : en même temps pour l'aspect "slogan" des revendications on peut pas trop leur en vouloir, à l'heure où les représentants politiques font de plus en plus souvent leur "comm" sur facebook ou twitter...
