Its intent is to pressurise the government to treat this emergency with the same urgency as they did in the COVID emergency.

Brentwood Climate Action is screening the Power Station film.
About the film
Two artists set out to kickstart a people powered energy revolution.
Directed by the duo, POWER STATION charts their turbulent journey, from pitching the idea to their neighbours and raising finance by sleeping on the roof and launching a bid for a Christmas number one. Powell and Edelstyn’s film is a vibrant portrait of a neighbourhood and testament to the art of the possible.This screening is a fundraiser so there will be a small charge to cover the costs of hiring the film.

Letter Writing Wednesday 5 & Thursday 6 August
It is envisaged that a letter-writing gathering, occasionally, would be an effective way to protest/applaud on a very accessible level. Anyone can suggest a cause for others to support. As a social gathering too, it is hard to beat.
This has been brought about by the many fascinating talks we have had each month over the last year, with speakers encouraging us to support their causes, both local and nationwide. This is the best way we can think of helping them. Hopefully, by the end of the session we will have a list for anyone to pursue in their own time. We will include these on our website with possible templates.
Get your list going and meet us at one, or both, of the following sessions:
- Wednesday 5th August at 12 noon, Brentwood Library
- Thursday 6th August 6pm, The Climate Café, 7 Crown Street
