Let’s challenge the corporate takeover of the climate talks in Paris

James O’Nions Activism team“We are at a crossroads. We do not want to be compelled to survive in a world that has been made barely liveable for us ... slavery and apartheid did not end because states decided to abolish them. Mass mobilisations left political leaders no other choice.”

So say Desmond Tutu, Naomi Klein, Vivienne Westwood, Noam Chomsky and around 100 other high profile figures in a recent statement. They’re calling for a mass climate justice movement to challenge the corporate power which stops real progress on climate change.

That power operates on several different levels - through a huge effort of direct lobbying by the fossil fuel and related industries; through an all-pervasive free market ideology which means politicians see only false, market-based solutions such as the disastrous carbon trading schemes; and through the dismantling of the ability of states to regulate and control corporations over the last few decades.

Challenging all that can seem like a big task, but there have been some important advances recently, from the enormous People’s Climate March in New York to the 1500 international activists who temporarily shut down a coal mine in Germany this August.

The next step on this road is the Paris UN climate talks in December. Not because we expect hopelessly compromised governments who have been captured by corporate interests to respond with a positive outcome then and there, but because challenging this corporate takeover as it happens, together as a global movement, is a necessary step towards forcing change down the line.

Global Justice Now is taking a group of activists to Paris to join the protests. We’re planning collective transport and accommodation (see page 5) and would really like groups to get involved. We’re also working with allies to ensure momentum from Paris is continued into 2016 - and beyond.

Tutu et al continue: “Ninety companies are responsible for two-thirds of recorded greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Genuine responses to climate change threatens their power and wealth”. That’s the challenge we need to rise to.

News from Global Justice Now Recent media highlights

As the leaders of the Eurozone bullied Greece into a punishing new round of cuts and privatisation this summer, Global Justice Now joined the solidarity effort from European civil society. Nick Dearden appeared on Radio 4’s The Moral Maze to promote the idea of Greek debt cancellation, and we placed comment pieces in a variety of news outlets from the

Independent, to the National, to the Morning Star.

When Ken Henshaw from Social Action in Nigeria came to speak about energy privatisation at our AGM in Glasgow, we managed to get him interviewed for New Internationalist magazine, as well as appearing on a Radio 4 programme critically examining the aid industry. The conference in Glasgow was also the subject of a double page spread in the National newspaper.

During the G7 meeting that took place in Germany in July, our quotes on the G7 and TTIP were picked up by a press agency and ended up appearing in over 200 newspapers and webistes around the world.

Getting Think Global Extra In order to get Think Global Extra, the email update between bimonthly editions of Think Global, you’ll need to be signed up to the Think Global emailing list.

Sorry for any confusion there has been around this, and also for the situation in the last few months where it was not possible to sign up to Think Global without also opting in to all of email communications from the office. This has now been resolved, and you can opt to sign up just for Think Global at globaljustice.org.uk/think-global (just untick the ‘sign up to general emails as well’ box if you don’t want these).

We also have a very short list of people who need Think Global Extra printing off and posting to them. That option is there for anyone who really needs it.

Demanding the Impossible Hot on the heels of a successful experiment in putting on a small political festival in Devon in July, which attracted a diverse and appreciative crowd, Global Justice Now was also involved in Demand the Impossible at the end of July. This is a political education summer school aimed at young people aged 16-25 in inner London - especially those who may not go to the kind of elite universities where political engagement is more normalised.

We very much played a supporting role to organisers the Critical Education Collective, but held our own global justice day as part of the event. We hope to be able to support the replication of this kind of initiative elsewhere.

Food sovereignty New Alliance In October the New Alliance leadership council will be releasing their ‘progress report’. This is an annual evaluation of the initiative, and will annouce its ‘success stories’ to a global audience. Global Justice Now is preparing to counter this report. We will showcase the growing evidence that highlights many disastrous consequences of the New Alliance and other forms of corporate agriculture, and will also be launching an infographic. The infographic will contrast the negative impacts of intensive corporate agriculture with the positive alternatives we published in the From the Roots Up report.

Global Justice Now has also continued lobbying the Department for International Development (DfID) about its support for the New Alliance. In response to the email action in June telling Grant Shapps (minister of state at DfID) to say no to the corporate takeover of food, DfID published an online statement. Statements like this one are often used as a basis for Conservative MPs to respond to emails, so we can expect to see similar arguments coming our way.

We’ve written a blog post (http://gju. st/1Utk5Kv) to counter the arguments in DfID’s statement, which can be useful when responding to these emails. It includes a critique of DfID’s measurements of success, statistics and claims with links to evidence that backs up these criticisms. If you need any more help responding, do email Dan: [email protected]

UK food sovereignty gathering 23-26 October, Hebden Bridge Momentum is gathering for the UK food sovereignty gathering in October in Hebden

Bridge. You can now register online here: foodsovereigntynow.org.uk/ukfoodsov/ national-gathering-2015

The website also provides information about, and a link to book budget accommodation. There will be details about travel added over the coming weeks. If you can help organise travel from where you are, please email [email protected]

We’re also very excited to announce that Bridget Mugambe, who works for the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa, will be joining us from Uganda for the event. Bridget has campaigned against the introduction of genetically modified (GM) and other commercial seeds throughout Africa, but in Uganda specifically, she has been resisting GM trials funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Bridget will bring a range of interesting perspectives on the fight against corporate controlled agriculture from across Africa. She will be joined by a delegate from União Nacional de Camponeses (UNAC), a peasant farmers union in Mozambique, and some European delegates that will share their own experiences and unique perspectives.

This is going to be an excellent gathering, and it is hoped that representatives from all sides of the UK food movement will attend – from fast food workers to organic growers. The Food Sovereignity Movement has suggested some ways in which we can all help spread the word: foodsovereigntynow. org.uk/promote-the-gathering.

One idea is to hold a local meeting or event in September or early October. Dan Iles is happy to come along and talk about food sovereignty and the process leading up to the gathering so far. Hosting such a meeting could be an ideal opportunity to make links with local food movements in your area. Email [email protected] or give the office a call on 020 7820 4900.

Climate and energy justice COP 21: Paris climate mobilisation The Global Justice Now COP Out briefing (included in Think Global in July) explained that the UN climate talks in Paris this November/December (the 21st conference of parties, or COP 21) are not expected to be any more successful than previous years’ talks. COP 21 is not expected to deliver a fair, or adequate global deal to prevent catastrophic climate change, despite impacts already causing harm. Particularly the poorest are impacted, who have made no contribution to creating the problem, and who have historically had little voice – or power – in the UN climate talks.

In fact, the COP 21 negotiations look set to provide an opportunity for corporate lobbyists and global elites to promote the latest false solutions. It seems that profits will be put before the best interests of the majority of the world’s population.

Overcoming these corporate interests and forcing governments to act in the interests of the majority will require a powerful movement. The talks, despite not delivering as they should on a global agreement, do however provide a key opportunity to bring together activists from around the world to build this movement.

Protests at the beginning of the UN talks (in Edinburgh and Cardiff on 28 November, and in London on 29 November) will simply call, once again, for leaders to take action on climate change. While Global Justice Now will

join in these protests (activists in Scotland wanting to build the movement for climate justice north of the border, should join Scotland’s Climate March for climate, justice and jobs in Edinburgh with Global Justice Scotland on Saturday 28 November), it’s really important that we don’t just rely on leaders to take action on our behalf, especially since these are so evidently influenced by the vested interests of corporations and global elites. Global Justice Now (alongside others such as Friends of the Earth), believes that these vested interests must be overcome by a powerful global movement, and have advocated for a big centralised action in Paris at the end of the talks on 12 December. This will mean that we, the people, will have the last word.

Come to Paris If you’re able to come to Paris, tickets will be available online soon. In the meantime you can register an interest in coming by emailing [email protected]. Please say whether you plan to come for the weekend (Fri 11 to Sun13 December) to take part in the centralised action; or are interested in coming over earlier to participate in assemblies and protests while the talks are taking place (particularly from 5 December).

The French coalition co-ordinating the mobilisations in Paris will be organising a range of accommodation (including hostels, homestays and crashpad accommodation) for the weekend of 11-13 December, which Global Justice Now will have access to for people travelling with us. If you’re planning on going for longer then we can help with advice on finding somewhere to stay.

If you are in Scotland, Global Justice Now Scotland is supporting the Stop Climate Chaos training days across Scotland on the 26 and 27 September. These are specifically

5

Page 6: Web viewOrganise members to go to the Paris climate protests and get the word out to others. ... street theatre, flash mobs, stalls, media stunts

aimed at activists going to Paris. To find out more go to stopclimatechaos.org/ training_days. Friends of the Earth Scotland is organising transport to Paris from Scotland which includes low cost accommodation in Paris. If you are interested and want more information please email Jane: jane. [email protected].

Global Justice Scotland is also showing Yes Men Fix the World at the Edinburgh World Justice Festival, which will be followed by a discussion on corporate capture of the UN climate talks, and how you can protest in Scotland and by going to Paris. The event will be at the Augustine United Church on Friday 9 October from 7pm. More information here globaljustice.org.uk/yesmen

After Paris Global Justice Now is also working with likeminded groups to organise events in early 2016 to make sure that the energy and momentum from the mobilisations around Paris are built upon in the longer-term. Let [email protected] know if you are interested in organising something in your area.

This Changes Everything Naomi Klein’s bestselling book on climate change has been made into a feature-length documentary film directed by Avi Lewis. It will shortly be released in a limited number of commercial cinemas.

However, we are currently negotiating with the filmmakers to allow Global Justice Now groups to show the film at free public screenings as part of the build up to Paris.

We will let you know what progress we make on this, but in the meantime email us on [email protected] if you’re interested in hosting a showing. You can watch an early taster of the film at gju.st/1NBmC4g.

Energy privatisation In June the Nigerian energy campaigner Ken Henshaw attended a meeting alongside Global Justice Now at the Department for International Development (DfID). Since then, DfID officials have been asked for the information they promised during the meeting, but have now insisted the questions be asked again as Freedom of Information requests. This has slowed down the process, but Global Justice Now is gradually building up a picture of what a

disastrous project energy privatisation has been.

In collaboration with Ken’s organisation, Social Action, Global Justice Now is doing some more detailed research on the effects of the privatisation process on people in Nigeria. The plan is to to publish this research in November to coincide with DfID’s annual review of the project.

Last year, this review stated that the project was “exceeding expectations” because the privatisation process had happened more quickly than expected! It had no mention of whether (or not) privatisation was actually improving things for Nigerians. Thanks to the work we’re doing, these real impacts will be documented this year, and publicised by Social Action and Global Justice Now.

A short video of an interview with Ken can be found at globaljustice.org.uk/energy-privatisation

In response to a parliamentary question by Gavin Shuker MP (part of the Labour shadow DfID team), DfID said that a decision on whether to provide further funding for the Nigerian privatisation scheme would be made after April 2016. It’s important that DfID feel the pressure ahead of this to try and ensure that no more aid money is wasted on this project.

Corporate Monopoly The giant corporate Monopoly game has proved popular over the summer for events and stalls, and many groups have ordered the table top version too. If your group has used the game in either form, please give any feedback you have to Sakina (sakina. [email protected] or 020 7820 4900). How have you found using it? Are there any ways you think it could be made better?

There will be an online version of the Monopoly game available too, providing another way of introducing people to Global Justice Now campaigns. You’ll get an email with a link to try it soon.

Reclaim Power, 9-10 October Global Justice Now is a member of the Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice, which includes many groups from the global south who are working for climate justice. This October, for the third year, the campaign has

6

Page 7: Web viewOrganise members to go to the Paris climate protests and get the word out to others. ... street theatre, flash mobs, stalls, media stunts

called global Reclaim Power days of action to take back our energy systems from corporate control. They’re encouraging groups to take action locally. Last year, there were over 600 actions around the world.

If you’d like to organise something locally, you could adapt one of the existing energy or climate activities like the Monopoly game and the energy Monopoly postcards, or the Carbon Capital walking tour. Contact Sakina on 020 7820 4900 or sakina.sheikh@ globaljustice.org.uk to order any materials you’d like to use. You can also sign up on reclaimpower.net, the Reclaim Power website, to publicise your action and get more information.

This year, the second of the two days of action (10 October) coincides with the international day of action on TTIP. If you’re already planning to do something for this, highlighting the way that TTIP will protect the interests of big energy companies and polluters at the expense of the majority, for example, might allow you to link the two!

A farewell note from Christine After four and a half years in the campaigns team, I’m moving on from Global Justice Now in mid- September. I’ve had some fantastic times campaigning with many of you and never cease to be amazed and inspired by your creativity and dedication. But I hope to see you again at a Global Justice Now event soon!

Trade justice European Citizens Initiative We have less than six weeks left of the European Citizens Initiative (ECI). At the time of writing there were over 2,510,000 signatures from across the EU, including 408,000 from the UK. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that this total could reach three million by 6 October, but that will take an almighty push. You can download petition sheets from our website: globaljustice.org.uk/ECIdownload Alternatively, you can encourage others to sign the petition at globaljustice.org.uk/TTIP

TTIP Free Zones We are doing well on getting local authorities to take a stand against TTIP, with 19 councils voting in opposition or concern about TTIP so far. Global Justice Now still has some packs to send out to those wanting to push their council to take a similar stance. Please keep Guy up to date with any motions submitted to the council in your area via guy.taylor@ globaljustice.org.uk

Lobbying Scottish MPs At the last count, 51 of 59 Scottish MPs have signed up to Early Day Motion (EDM) 146 criticising TTIP. While that number included almost all of the 56 SNP MPs, there has been some controversy about a very weak motion on TTIP being chosen for debate at the party’s

conference in October. The ever-resourceful St Andrews TTIP action group has put in an amendment to that motion, and Global Justice Scotland will be holding a fringe meeting on TTIP at the party conference where MSPs, MPs and MEPs will be challenged to take a more critical line on TTIP and to oppose it outright.

The St. Andrews TTIP action group are also planning a trip down to Westminster in October to lobby Scottish MPs about TTIP. They are planning meetings with MPs, a tour of Westminster, a meeting with Global Justice Now director Nick Dearden and a protest outside a private arbitration court. The group is keen for TTIP activists across Scotland to come with them to London on 20 October, and for activists in London to join in with the protest. If you are interested please contact [email protected]

Day of action, 10 October Plans are taking shape in Manchester, London and Glasgow for actions on 10 October. There’s still time for groups and activists approach other organisations in their local area to collaborate on actions and events to mark the day of action. This way we can raise the profile of TTIP (along with that of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), the EU-Canada trade deal due to be debated in the European parliament early next year), as well as draw in more people to the campaign and build our strength at grassroots level.

Skill Up! Stand Up!

A day of free training for activists Saturday 17 October, 10am-6pm MERCi, Manchester M4 7HR Including everything from how to do local press to good meeting facilitation. This will be a great day, but unlike some events we do, places are limited – and they’re filling up fast. More info and secure your free place via globaljustice.org.uk/skillup.

There is no prescription or specific recommendation for what groups should do – that should be decided with regard to the local situation and the strengths and weaknesses of the local Global Justice Now or anti-TTIP groups. Ideas for actions include street meetings, banner drops, public meetings or rallies, street theatre, flash mobs, stalls, media stunts – whatever you feel you can do best.

Email [email protected] if you need help, materials or advice on organising a splash in your area. Don’t forget to email any pictures or highlights during the day, or after the event to the same address. Jane and Liz in the Scotland office will be supporting local groups on the day of action in Scotland. Email Jane if you’re in Scotland on [email protected].

Scottish parliament elections The Scotland Against TTIP coalition of organisations (which Global Justice Scotland was a founding member of) is starting to plan, among other things, the lobbying of candidates in the run-up to the Scottish parliamentary elections in May next year, and a rejection of TTIP in Scottish party manifestos. Email Jane for more information, [email protected].

New book Gabriel Siles-Brugge and Ferdi De Ville have written a new book, The Truth About the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, which is a weighty but readable analysis of the claims of both the pro- and anti- TTIP camps. It’s well worth a read and Global Justice Now is planning to co-ordinate a couple of book launch events to help it gain a profile. It will be published in October by Polity.

CETA speaker tour: Stop the transatlantic trade deals Speakers: Ugandan activist Yash Tandon and Council of Canadians chair Maude Barlow The dates and locations of the tour have been confirmed! The itinerary will be:

Sunday 1 November, Dundee Monday 2 November, Manchester Tuesday 3 November, Leeds Thursday 5 November, London (House of Commons daytime, plus evening event) Friday 6 November, Oxford Saturday 7 November, Cardiff Sunday 8 November, Dublin

Full details of timings, venues and speaker line-ups will be announced shortly, with the latest info at globaljustice.org.uk/events

Apologies to all groups who let us know they’d like to host an event, but as you can tell, it’s a short and very tight schedule. If groups or activists elsewhere would like to organise a CETA event separate to the tour, Global justice Now will be happy to supply a speaker. Contact Guy on 020 7820 4900 or [email protected].

Organising students With the new academic year fast approaching Global Justice Now is keen to establish Students Against TTIP in more cities, universities and colleges. If you are interested in this yourself, or know someone who would be willing to organise a meeting for students, please give Guy a call on 020 7820 4918, or email him [email protected].

Groups and activism newsSummer activism With summer fetes and festivals – and occasional sun – Global Justice Now groups have taken the opportunity to get out and about. Here are a few highlights:

Global justice Bexhill and Hastings held a successful stall as part of the Garden Full of Cultural Delights event in East Sussex.

Global Justice Cambridge used the giant Monopoly board at a local Strawberry fair, saying it drew attention from passersby all by itself. Some members of the public took photos of the game, and even those who didn’t take part seemed to understand and appreciate the game’s message and many wanted their own edition!

Global Justice Sheffield ran an agribusiness stall at the Breighton Gala at the end of July. The event was in the suburbs of Sheffield. They gently drew in this new audience by offering free mini-packets of seeds, using the opportunity to talk about agribusiness, and gained lots of action card signatures as a result. They also got themselves known in a new area, and they hoped that putting the Global Justice Now logo on the seed packets would remind people of the group as they planted the seeds later on.

Global Justice Brighton and Hove played the giant Monopoly game on Brighton beach in July, using a press-release featuring quotes from Global Justice Now campaigner Susanne Schuster, and an eye-catching photo of the group to amplify the impact of the event and to highlight the impact of energy privatisation in Nigeria in the press.

Global justice Richmond and Kingston shared a stall with the local Fairtrade group at Kingston Food Festival on 8-9 August where they talked to people about the food campaign.

Action on tradePlenty of action on trade over the last couple of months as the TTIP campaign gains momentum.

During the summer there’s been a Scottish tour of a giant inflatable ‘Stop TTIP’ pencil advertising the European Citizens Initiative (ECI) petition on TTIP and CETA, as well as a great piece of street theatre from the Edinburgh Stop TTIP group during the Edinburgh festivals.

The number of Stop TTIP local groups across Scotland continues to grow, with groups in Edinburgh, Dundee, St. Andrews, Aberdeen, Highlands and Orkney as well as Global Justice Glasgow’s regular stalls on TTIP in Glasgow city centre. The grassroots campaign in Scotland is building, with public meetings coming up in Stirling (see below) and Perth.

Global Justice Bradford were excited to get Bradford declared a TTIP Free Zone in July. To achieve this they wrote to local councillors and discussed the idea with them in person. They say the Global Justice Now materials in the TTIP Free Zone packs were really useful, particularly the template motion and briefing paper.

Leeds Against TTIP organised a ‘talk and question time’ discussion panel in July, inviting anyone concerned about the free trade deal to find out more about the campaign against it. They had speakers from the Green Party, Global Justice Now, the Alliance for Green Socialism, Keep Our NHS Public and Friends of the Earth.

There is also a regional meeting to organise against TTIP across Yorkshire and Humber soon in Leeds (see back page).

Many Global Justice Now groups took part in the TTIP day or action organised by 38 Degrees on 22 August.

Global Justice Now South Lakes borrowed the giant ‘Global Justice Now against TTIP’ banner which they said really helped raise awareness alongside handing out leaflets. In conjunction with local 38 Degrees supporters, they succeeded in gaining over 300 signatures for the ECI petition against TTIP and CETA. They are hoping to organise a similar event for the day of action on 10 October.

Global Justice Central Lancashire took part in the demos in Preston and Lytham St Annes, and Northamptonshire for Global Justice ran a street stall in Kettering.

Global Justice Cambridge teamed up with the People’s Assembly, 38 Degrees, local unions and others to put on a big anti-TTIP demo in Cambridge Market Square which attracted local media coverage. They are also helping to organise a talk in Cambridge with the People’s Assembly on 7 October.

Ideas from Glasgow Global Justice Glasgow held a free lucky dip at two local festivals again this summer, ‘freeing the seeds’ with wee (their wording!) envelopes of peas, magic beans, bee-friendly wild flowers, sunflowers and cress. This once again proved a hit with all age groups, who found out about agroecology and Global Justice Now, as well as signing petitions and action cards.

They used #freetheseeds stickers on the seed envolopes, but said that on reflection, the Global Justice Now logo and website URL would have been better (Global Justice Sheffield report that using the logo is indeed effective). The addition of a human-sized pea pod helped to draw folk in and raised some smiles! Claire Green of the Glasgow group has offered to lend

out the the pea costume to other groups. Email her on [email protected].

Diana Ellis (Scotland area representative) and Anna from the Glasgow group also ran an interactive session on TTIP for a women for independence group of about 20 participants. If anyone would like to copy what they did, please contact Diana on [email protected].

Events What does TTIP mean for us? Tuesday 8 September, 7.30pm Methodist Church, Stirling Global Justice Now public meeting aiming to get a new Stop TTIP group established in Stirling, so please pass on to people you may know there.
