Nottingham Extinction Rebellion Alliances Team is inviting you and other environmental, climate justice and social justice organisations to join us for a mini Climate Assembly, run by the Nottingham Climate Assembly. At the Climate Assembly we will get our heads and hearts together to:
-
Come up with plans to tackle the city’s environmental challenges and to minimise their environmental impact.
-
Present our perspective on plans for carbon neutral Nottingham 2028 (CN28)
We’ll decide together how to make the most of our proposals at this crucial time, in the run up to a regional mayoral election and the run up to a general election.
We’ll also give the Climate Assembly team a chance to hone their skills before the city-wide, public Climate Assembly planned for later in 2024.
We really hope that you will be happy to join us on Saturday April 20th at the Sumac Centre, 245 Gladstone Street, Forest Fields, Nottingham NG7 6HX, 11-4 pm (including lunch).
We would like your group or organisation to send 1-2 delegates to the Assembly. Please could you let us know by March 1st 2024 whether you will be accepting this invitation and which people will be coming on behalf of your group or organisation (as well as their email addresses).
If you have any questions at this stage, please don’t hesitate to ask.
XR Notts Alliances team.
Klezmer Keilidh rehearse at Sumac Centre, in the large indoor space.
A klezmer keilidh is essentially a barn dance Yiddish style! Much like in other ceilidhs, the dances are explained by a caller and you don’t need any experience, neither do you need to bring a partner to join in.
Planning meetings continue for Nottingham Green Festival, a sustainable-themed festival, organised by a volunteer cooperative planning group.
The Green Festival wil be held at Nottingham Arboretum on Sunday 8th September 2024 and your support is most welcome.
Join us at the Sumac Centre, or get in touch for details to join the online via zoom.
Note that times may change between Winter & Summer meetings – see future meeting dates … (Also event listing on Veggies Diary)

*Celebrate our diversity*
This event celebrates 40 years of cooperation, mutual aid and solidarity by Sumac Centre, since being established as the Rainbow Centre in 1984. Rainbow rented a rundown terrace of shops on Mansfield Road from 1985-2001, creating the community that bought the Sumac Centre in 2001. See more history here.

We are excited to bring this touring event series, Common Ground, to the Sumac Centre.
Common Ground is a series of events celebrating Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp.
.
The tour is part of a Heritage Lottery Funded project exploring the effect of the Peace Camp on the communities that Greenham Women returned to.
.
Activities may include a pop-up exhibition, craftivism workshops, memory sharing, book talk, film screenings and more.
.
11am – 2pm
– Veggies brunch
– Greenham Pop-up exhibits and memory sharing
– Drop-in craft activities.

.
From 2pm we will have time to host some talks.
.
“From our end, we can give a talk about Greenham and possibly introduce the book ‘Out of the Darkness’ which is a collection of the testimonies we’ve collected through the project.”
.
“It would be amazing if anyone from Nottingham CND would be up for giving a talk on the work that you do, or if anyone wants to give a talk about a specific topic that would also be very welcome. It would be great to have talks which mix looking backwards at the history of peace movements as well as looking at where we are now.”
I imagine the Sumac would have a really engaged community for this event and would be a great place to collect testimonies from people who went to the Peace Camp!
We’d also love to invite activists and campaign groups that are still working on the issues that Greenham Women explored, so really glad to hear about your connections with CND and we’d love to be put in touch with anyone else you think might like to contribute!
