Finally! The plan is out!
The goal of the day’s action is to disrupt the corporations involved in the COP process, as well as other corporate climate criminals. This means disrupting both meetings which are part of the COP and business as usual at the corporations themselves. Within Copenhagen there are many corporations involved in the destruction of the planet and greewashing of false solutions. We will take direct action against these corporations to disrupt business and shut them down for the day using a diversity of tactics.
Action Plan: the plan is to assemble at 10:00 am SHARP! (that means on time), in Nytorv, a square in copenhagen’s inner city. From there the action will proceed to a variety of locations. Information will be provided before hand on where the action will be headed. The goal is not as much to hold a street demonstration, as it is to make it to the targets and disrupt them. Everyone in the action will learn where the action is going, so if separated by police or other nasty forces, proceed to the targets as quickly as possible. The plan is to divide those ready for direct action into a variety of action style groups, marked by colored armbands given out at the meetup location. Affinity groups and individuals should come prepared to join one of these groups. The actions groups will be:
Noise brigade: Green armbands. Making as much noise to drown out the slick talk of the greenwashers and corporate lobbyists. bring noisemakers, pots and pans, and anything to cause a racket both on the way and in the targets.
Visual group: purple armbands. This group gets our message across, think banner drops, graffiti, stencils, posters, and banners during the action and outside of corporations. Make sure they know we mean business
Inside ruckus group: orange armbands. This is the group to go inside the targets and confront the corporate climate criminals. Use your imagination to disrupt business as usual. Come prepared and dress for success. Get inspired by the havoc these people wreak on the planet.
Outside ruckus group: blue armbands. This group holds the space outside of the targets and makes sure people of the inside ruckus group can do their thing. Blocking entrances and generally causing chaos in the streets. Think street party after the fall of capitalism!
As well, there are other actions that groups may partake in that need no armbands, get creative.
While the goal of the day is to disrupt a as many of these corporations as possible as part of a mass action, autonomous action by affinity groups against corporations in also encouraged. If your group has not had time to plan autonomous action, come to the mass action.
As well, there will be an action meeting on Thursday, December 10th at 19:00 (location to be determined) to finalize the plan for the next days actions. Come there to get plugged in and ready for the next day.
Get ready for action in the streets and offices of those destroying the planet. Our Climate! Not your Business!
See you in the streets
