Totnes and Area Reminders Newsflash
November 11th 2021

    THE BIG MEET UP.

              Remember that there will not be a Big Meet Up until.......

             Tuesday the 23rd November.
                                 Time and place to be confirmed.

            The next Newsletter due out on Friday 19th November.

However, some important community events are happening before that..

Please find below the new flyer for
Friday’s Fishing and Sustainability Zoom Totnes Talks discussion.
( Someone from Ocean Rebellion will be on the panel.)

It is really important we get numbers for this one as Anthony Mangnall MP is on it. Low numbers of attendees means he can ignore us.

So what is important is that a large number of people join the Zoom at the start and leave at the end.

However what you do while it is happening is up to you.

if you want to listen to the whole thing then please do. It's a powerful panel - should be an exciting and informative discussion

if you want to dip in and dip out then leave the Zoom on and dip in and out as you feel

Here is the Zoom Link

XR membership is huge and growing and it can be a bit daunting, so the Rebellion Academy is a series of short on-line tutorials covering everything from "The 10 Principles" to how to write press releases and loads more!
https://uk.rebellion.academy/ .
It's a good place to start, with some basic orientation, and it can help you decide what sort of rebel you are and what sort of role would suit you.

Thank you for taking action to fight climate and ecological breakdown - we are all crew and feedback is always welcome - hope to see you on the streets soon
