Flanders Action campaign
In Roeselare (Flanders, Belgium) we're campaigning against a new but useless
road between Roeselare en Ieper. This road will run through the battlefield
of Passendale (You Brittisch should know, World War I was terrible here,
approx 500.000 brittisch soldiers died here).
In the weekend of 20 september we've planned an action camp. 3 to 500
people are expected to camp on a site near to the place where the new road is
planned. On saturday 20th there is a manifestation.
It would be very nice to make this weekend international. We know in
brittain you are active in campaigning against new roads. Some of you are
tunneling or tree-climbing. It would be great if some of you were present on
our weekends. We have workshops where we would listen to your stories,
experiences and advices. And maybe it could end in real action.
Are you interested ? Are you coming ? We give you lodging and food.
Maybe there are other interesting people and organisations you think we
should contact.
Please mail us back as quick as possible.
Also if you aren't coming.
Thanks a lot.
And succes with your campaigns.
