Dear all,

last week I've met with several of you, and with the others I've been working on similar topics for a long time!

I'd like to introduce you to each other, in order to spark creativity :)

• please approach each other if you feel the "match";

and/or

• please share more of the links to your work that are relevant!!

Next big events where we could all meet (virtually) : 22.-26.11.2021. RIPE83 https://ripe83.ripe.net 27.-30.12.2021. CCC / rC3 https://events.ccc.de/ 5-6.02.2022. FOSDEM'22 https://fosdem.org/2022/news/

& a wild idea: hackathon-on-a-train this December!!! https://wiki.techinc.nl/User:Becha/HackTrain2021 (topics: sustainability & low-tech Internet & remote working & mobility)

& a "forum" to inter-connect & meet more people from cross-communities: UnCivilisation mailing list!! https://unciv.nl

Ideas

• a "festival" in the shape of the REFUGEE CAMP!
  • "we are all climate refugees" (in 2030)
  • "we" have CAUSED many people to be climate refugees already!

• send emails/letters to your "representative"!
  • goal: create pressure on the politicians , by their "constituencies"
  • least work for the "participants" (more for organising) : automate it all! (provide 1-5 drafts, like a petition), and provide the email addresses in the drop-down menu
  • More work than petition, more impact than a tweet
  • achieve _personal_ contact with the politician!
  • something like this have helped with the action against ACTA/TTIP

• divest from the climate-destroying pension funds

• persuade royal family / princess-es to join XR ;-)

• MEMEs
  • sea-shanty
  • "chairman bernie"

• remote-controlled robot to poor water out of the canal into back the sea!

• projecting people's names onto the parliament (if they sign the petition...)

• Online STRIKE!
  • "block" access to the fossil-fuel companies networks (office & website!)
  • EVERYONE switches their _internet OFF_ for one day!!!
  • A day/hour of mourning/grief - switch off the screen/turn all websites BLACK
