Meet SR Denmark - an evening of hygge and snacks
When: May 21st at 18:00.
Where: Greencubator (Nørrebrogade 20, 1st floor, Copenhagen)
On May 21st at 18:00, members of Scientist Rebellion Denmark are meeting at Greencubator (Nørrebrogade 20, 1st floor, Copenhagen) to share a cozy evening with food and drinks.
Everyone is welcome, even if you’ve never attended an SR event!
We will also have a special guest: Prof. John Barry, visiting from Queen’s University Belfast. His research work encompasses post-growth economics and politics, green political theory, civic republicanism, socialism, Marxist and feminism. He is also the recent co-author on a recent paper calling for the democratization of the university system, through the work of social movements like Scientist Rebellion, among others: Agents of (un)sustainability: democratising universities for the planetary crisis
Come enjoy cozy vegan food and find out more about how scientists can engage in climate and ecological activism!
Action training - get ready for “GET DOWN, a street party against private jets”
When: June 1st, 9th, and 15th at 14:00.
Where: Overgrund (Rådhusstræde 13, Copenhagen)
Private jets are the pinnacle of climate, social and economic injustice!
A four-hour private flight emits as much CO2 as the average european does in a year. Private jets are used mostly by the ultra-rich (less than 1% of us). The UN has stated that the richest 1% of the world must reduce their emissions by 97%. Yet the ultra-rich, with their power and influence, continue to fry the planet at our expense.
The system is working against the people, but you can help fix it.
For the past year Extinction Rebellion and Scientist Rebellion carried out civil disobedience actions every month against private jets, and on June 22nd everyone is invited to join “The street party against private jets”! It will be a big party (and you don’t have to do civil disobedience yourself)!
To learn more about this big action party, join the action training on June 1st, 9th, or 15th at 14:00 at Overgrund (Rådhusstræde 13), where we will also introduce Extinction Rebellion, Scientist Rebellion, and the Ban Private Jets campaign.
The street party is for everyone, and there is room for all regardless of whether you feel like engaging in civil disobedience or not.
Action training in Odense - get ready for “GET DOWN, a street party against private jets”
When: June 15th, from 12:00 to 17:00
Where: Huset (Absalonsgade 26, Odense)
The climate crisis is unfair. A four-hour private jet flight emits as much CO2 as the average European does in a year. Private jets are used by the ultra-rich (less than 1% of us). The UN has declared that the richest 1% of the world must reduce their emissions by 97%.
We want to show them where we think they should start: Ban private jets!
Extinction Rebellion Odense invites you to an introductory talk and action training for our global campaign: Ban Private Jets.
During the day you will receive an introduction to the campaign and the Extinction Rebellion movement. You will also receive training in non-violent civil disobedience. Extinction Rebellion Odense provides you with a free and decent lunch and other snacks during the day! ;)
The purpose of the day is to prepare you for the big demonstration: “The Get Down - Street Party against private jets”. The street party will take place on Saturday, June 22nd at Kastrup Airport in Copenhagen. Mark the date on your calendar.
The street party is for everyone, and there is room for all regardless of whether you feel like engaging in civil disobedience or not.
GET DOWN - A street party against private jets
When: June 22nd at 13:00.
Where: Copenhagen airport, by the metro station.
Join Extinction Rebellion Denmark for a street party to ban private jets! We’ll take to the street at Kastrup Airport to show politicians and Copenhagen Airports A/S that it’s time for the ultra-rich to keep their feet on the ground.
While the 99% are dealing with a burning world 🔥, the 1% are city hopping or spending weekends in the Mediterranean 🏙️. A four-hour private flight emits as much CO2 as the average European does in a year. The richest 1% of the population emits as much CO2 as the poorest two thirds. These are just consumption emissions. But these people also own some of the most polluting companies of the world and influence governments to keep the status quo. The UN has said that the world’s richest 1% will have to reduce their emissions by 97%. We will show them where we think they should start.
Program to be announced. You can look forward to music, dancing, and workshops where we’ll learn new ways to fly. 😏 For now, save the date and invite your friends to this event!
🤔: will we be inconveniencing ordinary people? ✈️: yes, a little. People coming to the airport by car will have to take a 10 min. detour. We have done smaller actions at this location before and are used to guiding people around. As always, we will move out of the way for emergency vehicles.
🤔: why target Kastrup? ✈️: Kastrup Airport is the airport with the second most private flights in Denmark, just after Roskilde Airport. Both are owned by Copenhagen Airports A/S.
🤔: will this be a legal or an illegal demonstration? ✈️: we have asked Copenhagen police for a permit to be on the road in front of Kastrup from 13:00 until 15:30. If they agree, this will be a legal demonstration for that time (we’ll keep you posted!). If they don’t, then it will be legal for us to be there until the police tell us to leave.
🤔: can I join only for the legal part? Can I bring kids? Animals? Teddy bears? ✈️: Anyone can join for whatever part of the action fits their comfort level. You can also party on the sidewalk if you don’t want to be in the street.
🤔: what should I bring? ✈️: besides some water, food, and the right clothes for the weather, nice things to have with you could be a yoga mat or something else to sit on, and if you like, a portable speaker in case our sound system gets shut down. 😄
