About me:
**********************************************************
**********************************************************
In response to the ‘renaissance’ of the nuclear industry this gathering
seeks to strengthen the ‘renaissance of resistance’ to new nuclear power
stations and uranium mining. Hands-on practical skill exchanges ranging
from ecological building, energy saving skills, and gardening, to
fundraising, media skills, public outreach and more…will empower us all to
promote positive alternatives to the problems of today…without creating
more problems for tomorrow.

Who I'd like to meet:
A global Nuclear upsurge is underway - and Scandinavia seems to
have been
made into the international nuclear industry's testing lab and
leading
example: New nuclear plants are planned, as well as sites for
nuclear waste
storage, and uranium prospecting companies are trying to get their
hands on
all land they can.
Seeing this threat, people from different places and countries
have started coming together to resist it here - but also to make
the
resistance cross all borders: in order to abolish nuclear industry
altogether, so that no-one, nowhere, will end up with it in their
own backyard.
In Finland, the Nuclear Free Finland network is organizing an
international
Nuclear Climate Camp, 20-26th of July 2009: Because the nuclear
industry have
started using the climate crisis as their Number One argument, we
want to
show these lies for what they are: The climate crisis means that
all
fossil fuels, including uranium, will make things dramatically
worse,
not better!
For next summer, in 2010, another project is planned:
a Tour around the Baltic Sea, to inform about the dangers of
nuclear industry,
to make actions, and to contact and network with local groups and
people
on the way.
We are currently looking for more people supporting this project,
for partner groups, organizations and/or individuals around the
Baltic Sea,
and for money and other resources for the project. All help is
welcome!
We therefore welcome You to a presentation and networking meeting,
in
Stockholm, Sweden, 18-19th April (2009):
On Saturday 18th, we'll hold an open workshop to tell and to
discuss with
people (You!) about the project. We also welcome all who themselves
have
connections to places affected by f.ex. uranium prospecting or
waste storage plans, or to earlier antinuclear campaigns, to tell
about their
perspectives and experiences (And of course everyone else is
welcome as well!)
The workshop will be at 10-16 o clock,
at ABF House Stockholm (Sveavägen 41, Hötorget Subway Station), and
will be
followed by informal evening interaction and networking if so
desired.
On Sunday 19th, we'll have a meeting for practical planning of the
tour,
where we also hope to see some new faces! The location will be
announced in
the Saturday workshop: If you can only attend the Sunday meeting,
please
contact (atomi AT hushmail.com) to get the location. The time is
preliminarily somewhere between 11.00 and 19.00.
More information about the project can be found here:
http://baltic-tour.nuclear-heritage.net
If you have any ideas, comments or questions, about the project or
about the
meeting in Sweden (program, location etc), please contact:
atomi AT hushmail.com
If You are interested but cannot attend the meeting in Stockholm,
next presentation/preparation
meeting will happen at the Nuclear Climate Camp, Lapland, 20-
26.7.2009,
more info about the camp here (coming soon):

Also, another Baltic Tour project meeting will preliminarily be
held in
the autumn 2009: see the project webpages above for more info.
Warm welcomes from
the Nuclear-Free Finland network
