Provisional Programme for the day - but if you have other ideas post them up for discussion
1st half of day - discussion of PGA Hallmarks (see below); history and eg.s of other groups using them, discussion of our interpretations of them and how we may/may not use them in our future.
2nd half of day - future action, outreach and polar bears (i.e. tactics for outreach).

Bristol Rising Tide has already done a debrief session but it was suggested that we could continue to share our experiences by using a display board at the gathering which people could add to.

Food will be prepared in advance on Friday p.m at the Kebele Social Centre, Robertson Road - come and stir the pot!

PGA Hallmarks

At the Climate Camp, people from Westside initiated discussions about adopting the Hallmarks of People’s Global Action (PGA) as a way of reaffirming the radical basis of the Climate Camp. Westside decided that we should hold a gathering to continue our discussions of the hallmarks and the politics that motivates our actions.
