This summer, thousands of people mobilised against the fracking industry
in Balcombe, Sussex.  The community resistance drew people from all over
the country who camped out, met new friends, attended demonstrations,
blockaded trucks and occupied industry headquarters.

This skillshare and meeting is for all those who were inspired by events
in Balcombe and the Reclaim the Power camp to reflect and organise for the future, with a particular focus on supporting community resistance to the
industry’s fracking plans for the North of England.

Provisional Agenda:

Session 1: The Story So Far
