Call out from residents in Lancashire:
PLEASE come be with us:
"Cuadrilla the frackers have a new plan and it's to frack again - so not really new except for a a lot of relaxing by the regulators of previous conditions; that will make it every bit as damaging to the environment; intrusive, toxic and even, a bit more dangerous to nearby residents."
This community has been present and opposing fracking DAILY since 5th Jan 2017 (over 900 days!!) and is urgently seeking support. We would not incite anything but would ask instead that you come - be with us, witness what happens (the police are less 'hands-on' when enough are witnessing) and individually make clear your insistence on a safe future.
We need all the help we can get. Could you come alone? With friends and family? For an hour? For a day? For a unique holiday
We're roadside at the gates to the fracking site 24 hours of every day: from 7:30am till 6:30pm the frackers run works vehicles in and out and the police prohibit meaningful protest of any duration beyond a few minutes - making exercising Articles 10 & 11 impossible. But we try to do our best to raise awareness, let drivers of works vehicles know how the community feels and act in ways that have actual impact.
Our PNR (Gates) Community Protection Camp monitors all that happens at the site - not only during working hours but ALL hours; Gates Camp has shifts that need filling too if you can spare a few hours to sit with great people, enjoy decent coffee and a genuine purpose.
There are days in the week where guest speakers or events are held and these are pretty regular:
MONDAYS: 'Green Mondays' with speakers from environmental groups come.
WEDNESDAYS: when a 'Call for Calm' is held by the Nanas & Wednesday Women
FRIDAYS: 'Band Practice' - or more honestly, 'bring an instrument, make any noise'
FRIDAYS: (last one of every month) 'No Faith in Fracking' - a gathering of faiths in silence
Where do you fit in? Some come with a chair, a flask and reading material and sit opposite the site, others stand with banners, some stand, some dance, some knit and some engage with drivers and really... anything you feel is YOUR activism against fracking.
We can't promise comfortable days because they can be awful but there are safe places to be and incredible people in solidarity... and the kettle's always on.
*If you're in a group like Extinction Rebellion, Reclaim The Power, Rising Up, Campaign against Climate Change, Global Women's Strike, Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace UK, Anonymous, Occupy London, Occupy Democracy, Climate Siren, Frack Off London, Frack Free United, Fracking Hell (UK) or ANY Frack Free, environmental or campaign group... please pass this invitation (plea?) from the community of weary but unstoppable Protectors at Preston New Road (between Blackpool & Preston on the A583)
