No New Coal - Stopping Kingsnorth
Wednesday 9th September – 7pm till 8.30pm
_________________________________________

This evening Housmans will be welcoming guests from Greenpeace and Climate Camp to reflect on this year’s camp, and to consider future strategies for campaigning against the expansion of the Kingsnorth coal power station.

Greenpeace will be providing details of their forthcoming campaign ‘The Big If’. The campaign asks supporters to make pledges as to what they will do if Ed Miliband gives the go-ahead for a new dirty coal power station at the Kingsnorth site in Kent. 

Climate activist Jonathan Stevenson will be talking about this years Climate Camp, and also recalling some of the other recent actions that have been undertaken to try and raise awareness of the governments energy policies.

There will also be a screening of Nick Broomfield’s short documentary ‘A Time Comes’, which tells the story of the ‘Kingsnorth 6’ – the six Greenpeace volunteers who in 2008 were tried and acquitted for shutting down Kingsnorth power station after scaling a tower at the coal-fired power station.
