Notes from Scot.E3 Edinburgh organising meeting180419
- Attending PS, ZT, CM, PC, EC, BP – apologies from KW, WB, SB, MD
- Agreed to rewrite the preamble to the article that responds to criticisms of Just Transition in the light of the new STUC statement on climate action and publish it on the blog.
- The leaflet we distributed on the first day of the STUC in Dundee was well received.Thanks to SCND for hosting the fringe meeting on jobs, divestment and sustainability that we spoke at – about 30 people attended. We also joined a discussion organised by the STUC with young people from recent climate action.
- Throughout the meetingideas for further briefings/resources/blog posts came up in discussion. These included:
- The case for taking INEOS into public ownership
- Sustainable housing
- Divestment, nuclear decommissioning and a sustainable future
- Why nuclear shouldn’t be part of a just transition
- A critical look at energy from waste schemes
If you are interested in contributing to any of these please let us know.
- There will be a climate bloc on Edinburgh May Day (4thMay) – we are working with Friends of the Earth Scotland to build this. PC will check whether we can organise a meeting for people on it to attend afterwards possibly at the May Day Bookfair at the Leith Community Centre, Sunday 5th
- We still need to find a couple of people who can take the Scot.E3 banner through to the Glasgow May Day march (5thMay). The banner will be on the Edinburgh march on the 4th, can anyone take the banner through to Glasgow for this given that we also have to cover the Leith event.
