18 June Green & Black Cross first Network Gathering London

Green & Black Cross
The Green & Black Cross is an entirely independent grassroots project set up in the spirit of mutual aid and solidarity to support autonomous social struggles within the UK. It's a new project set up in November 2010 to provide legal support for protests against the governements wave of massive spending cuts. The project takes inspiration from the Anarchist Black Cross and diverse skills and infrastructure built up over the last decade or so by elements of the environmental movement, such as The Camp for Climate Action.

Currently Green & Black Cross has three active wings, the Legal Support project, now including defendants support Street Medics and Action Kitchens. Please do get involved.

Future projects planned include prisoner support, child care, trauma support, fundraising assistance, logistics and workshops/training. We don't intend to replicate or duplicate infrastructure or support projects already active in any given area, but hopefully advance colaboration between them with GBC acting as one possible portal.

If you'd like to get involved with any of these projects or have other ideas then please get in touch or better yet, look out for future GBC meetings and come along.

For further information please email gbc[at]riseup.net. If you require childcare on the day we can provide it at the venue if we have advance notice.
