Dear Rebels,
How did you feel about the Canning Town Tube action, in week two of last October’s Uprising? Did it interfere with movement-building and sympathy-winning; or was a necessary disruption in the fight for change? Or maybe a bit of both?
Your view is urgently needed on how we – XR local, regional and national – can mix activities to best achieve our aims. So please come and take part in our first local People’s Assembly, to voice your opinions and to contribute to forward XR strategy.
The PA will be on Saturday 8 February; 1.30 for a prompt 2.00pm start at The Friends Meeting House, Dorking; conclusion by 4.15 guaranteed. Short notice I know, but the request from XR central only came on Monday, with a 14 February deadline.
So please do whatever you have to do to be there, and register your intention to attend by clicking here.
XR has supplied us with a format for this Assembly, and helpfully condensed the variety of routes forward into three ‘Theories of Change’ (ToC). To what extent are they complimentary, or competing? And where can our energies and skills be directed most effectively? That is what our first People’s Assembly is all about. If you have time, you can read the ToC papers here, but we will recap on them at the Assembly anyway.
Do come and join us on Saturday week. It is important, but it will also be exciting. So register now.
With Love and Rage – James

P.S. We may be able to organise a play area for small children; if you will be bringing them please note that when registering.
P.P.S. Details of final arrangements, and further joining instructions will be sent to all registrants.
