Action Week SOON! (3/8-14) @actionweek@sunbeam.city

#SolarpunkActionWeek is less than a month away! Is everyone ready?

I have created a lot of crop rotation plans over the years and have quite a bit of info on it in different books, plus my experience of using them. It made me wonder, would people find a post summarising crop rotations a useful?

I thought maybe this could be something I could do for #solarpunkactionweek

#Gardening #CropRotations #Solarpunk

I just found out about #SolarPunkActionWeek and it starts on my birthday! 🤩

I keep trying think of something low-spoon to contribute to #SolarpunkActionWeek, which is on 8th to 14th March. The problem is, all I can think of is giving away some plants/cuttings. Which I do anyway, so doing it during #SolarpunkActionWeek wouldn't be special.

If there is something people have seen me talk about on here that you think, I could do with more info about that and it would fit in with the theme, let me know!

For now, I'll keep musing over this.

Animal lib group UnoffensiveAnimal offer free workshops including lockpicking, how to build lockons, opsec, and hunt sabs.

Pretty sure they're uk-based but have definitely done events in europe and possibly globally too.

Perhaps something for #SolarpunkActionWeek?

Alright. I think I'm gonna try and grow some #elderberry and maybe some #ginger. Not totally sure if that works in this climate though. Definitely gonna try some #garlic again. I'll convert at least one of the raised beds into a hinged #hoophouse #greenhouse.

Can't afford health insurance, so I'm gonna grow some fucking medicine I guess.

Still growing #BokChoy in the basement, so I'm getting a little bit of fresh greens in these cold, dark times.

I got two 6-month water filters, and an air filter that I *believe* is rated for 6months.

My buddy @Got_Rent_Strike gave me a couple big bags of pumpkin seeds, which are a great energy source.

#solarpunkactionweek? IDK. Just planning out loud for the coming year I guess. If we get Medicare for All maybe I'll feel a bit less pressure on this, but it's also a bit exciting. I kinda started doing this without realizing there's a pattern.

Update on Walli's (Really Really Free) Market: within the past couple weeks, a bench, a clothing rack, and a small box for donating shoes have all been left at the store! Sharing spaces are rad y'all!!! ​

The first #SolarpunkActionWeek is over, but that doesn't mean you have to stop working for a better world! To keep the momentum going, always remember the 3 O's of successful activism: Organize, Organize, and Organize. Here are some things you can do now:

If you have a boss, you need a labor union. If you have a landlord, you need a tenant's union. And if you have debt, guess what, you need a debtor's union (http://debtcollective.org). #SunbeamWiki has a whole page on how to unionize, as well as a list of groups to contact for help: https://wiki.sunbeam.city/doku.php?id=workers_unions_direct_action

Visit your closest #FoodNotBombs meal. Ask how you can help and what other local groups need help. They'll be happy to have you!

The #EarthStrike is looking for organizers and agitators across the world. Email the national committee for your area if you want to help https://www.earth-strike.com/

And check out this page for other groups you can join: https://wiki.sunbeam.city/doku.php?id=organisations

See you all in ~6 months!

What do people think about a Fediverse UK meet up during #SolarpunkActionWeek?
The Solarpunk Action Week is the 8th – 14th of March.
In terms of venues, there was that farm in the Wye Valley that was going to hold #Barncamp last year, there's the Bramford Quaker community in the Peak District... there are probably other places too. Camping is very cheap, though less accessible to people and perhaps a little cold in March. A large youth hostel might even be an option, if it suits the purpose.

Moved things around a tiny bit to make the Bullshit Jobs flyer prettier, I think this is the final version. This is free to print, hang, hand out, alter, share, anything you want! Please do - I want to get more people talking about this!

Announcing #SolarpunkActionWeek 2020!

As those of you who still hang around tumblr may know, the dates for next year's Solarpunk Action Week have been announced as March 8th through 14th. As with 2019's week, this will be an event focusing on direct action, mutual aid, honing practical skills, and building a new world!

An early announcement gives plenty of time to make plans, get friends together, and involve local organizations. If you need inspiration, check out: #StealThisTag, #SolarpunkResource, #SunDIY, and of course #SolarpunkActionWeek for last year's actions. This account as well as the tumblr will also be posting ideas frequently

Please boost this post and spread the word!

I'm starting to think that Symbiosis might be the most important radical organization active right now. If you haven't already, please sign up - they'll help connect you with movements in your area and tell you how you can help. And they need a lot of help right now!
