    'After our mass action camp Power Beyond Borders last month, our next National Gathering will be in London on 14 and 15 September. Over the course of the weekend we’ll reflect on our experiences organising Power Beyond Borders and look towards the future as we plan what’s next.

    On 29 July we served the Home Office notice that if they didn’t end their brutal and racist Hostile Environment, we’d be back in October to turn up the heat. We’ll be making plans for escalating tactics in the fight for migrant justice as well as building on the learning we did about anti-oppression.

    At our National Gatherings we use consensus decision making to develop strategies and make plans to take direct action in the name of climate justice. We hope to see many new faces to strengthen the movement and build on the existing momentum.

    Planning on joining us? Here’s the essential info:

    When: 10.00am - 6pm, Saturday 14 September & 10.00am - 4pm, Sunday 15 September.

    Where: The Printworks, 139 Clapham Road, London SW9 0HP.

    What: Saturday will focus on the Power Beyond Borders debrief and Sunday will be planning for future actions. The full agenda will be posted on our Facebook event page nearer the time.
    Feedback: If you came to Power Beyond Borders you can still give feedback; we will be reflecting on this at the gathering.

    Food: A vegan lunch and an abundance of tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided on both days. If you have any further dietary requirements, please let us know in advance via
    info at reclaimthepower.org.uk and we will do our best to cater for you.

    Social: In true RTP tradition, there will be a Saturday night social providing the opportunity to unwind together and get to know each other informally. There may well be some dancing.

    Crash space: At our National Gatherings, you can always find a warm, safe space to sleep from the network. Please let us know if you’re in need of a place to stay!

    Childcare: We will provide a creche service; please let us know in advance if you would like to make use of this so we can plan age appropriate activities.

    Access: The venue will be wheelchair accessible; please let us know about any specific access needs via info@reclaimthepower.org.uk and we will work with you to make the space as accessible as possible for you.
