Wednesday Women's Call for Calm

Addressing those impacted by Blackpool's fracking-induced earthquakes (fear, concern or damage) who are perhaps uncomfortable about becoming or joining "protesters". I have actively protested against fracking for years and know many feel unsure how to now join (as I did when I first got involved).

EVERYONE is welcome and every current protester - was just a resident somewhere, the day before too. I discovered a while back that women particularly found it more difficult to find their place in this and were not always comfortable joining demonstarations etc. so we set up Nanashire and on Wednesdays (107 of them so far!) - women gather and walk together to the Cuadrilla fracking site to hold a 15 minute silence, share concerns, share food, sing, dance and create a space each week that feels more calm and safe.

As 'Nanas' we take part in outreach events and meetings across the country as well as being at the site here regularly... if anyone would like to join us, please do message me or the page - or simply arrive at the fracking site on any Wednesday from around 10:45 am ...or better still, meet up at Maple Farm Community Hub (Nr. World of Water PR43PE & just 15 mn walk to site) at 10am and walk together.
