Today, on the 21st of June 2010, a group of actvists has gathered in
Mariehamn on the Aland island between Sweden and Finland to start the
anti-nuclear "Baltic Sea Info Tour". For the next two month they will
travel about 6,000 kilometers around the Baltic Sea to raise the awareness
about the nuclear threats to this inland sea which is the most radioactive
sea in the world. In 13 cities the info-tour will have stops and gather
with local activists and organizations to educate about the risks of
nuclear power, to do street actions and to develop the international
networks of anti-nuclear activists around the Baltic Sea.
You are invited to join the tour! You can travel the whole tour or join
for certain parts. If you could make it only to single events during the
infotour, it would also be great to meet you in some information events,
on the streets or in the regional network gatherings that will be
organized together with the local partners. Food and accommodation will be
free or on the basis of donations for our participants. If you can't
afford your travel costs, the possibilities to cover these expenses can be
figured out for you. - Anyway, please announce yourself as early as
possible to help to plan the activities and to arrange food and
accommodation for every one.
At each stop a different programme of activities has been organized by
local activists. They have decided which topics are the most important
ones for them right now, thus the tour will have information events
focussing on certain nuclear facilities, on nuclear waste issues, on the
general topic of the radiation in the Baltic Sea, on action methods for
anti-nuclear resistance and several other topics.
One goal of the infotour is to support the work of the local anti-nuclear
movements by appearance in these places. Basically a group of
international guests will draw media attention and helps to get public
awareness for the local nuclear issues the activists in these places are
dealing with.
Another aim is to strengthen and develop the networks between anti-nuclear
activists - as well between local groups as on an international level. We
will exchange plans for later anti-nuclear activities and work on the
preparation of these cooperative projects. Organizing such a big project
already created contacts and thus we could already make some experiences
with each other. To reach more activists and to structure the later
cooperation activities we are inviting groups and individuals widely to
join the regional networking gatherings. Please consider to attend the
ones that are closer to you. This is a list of the first network
gatherings during the infotour:
* Mariehamn (Finland): June 23 at 9 AM at "Uncan" in Mariehamn
* Loviisa/Isnas (FIN): June 27 at 2 PM at "Kaarnaranta" in Isnas
* Helsinki (FIN): June 30 at 2.30 PM at the Social Center in Helsinki
