12th, 13th, 14th September - London
A weekend of discussion with some serious action on the streets leading to a banging finale on the Monday. Join and stay as long as you're able.
The focus of Love & Rage is 'Security' which includes the impacts of water, food, energy and heat on our safety.
The National Security Assessment (NSA) highlights serious threats to UK Security: biodiversity loss, flooding, drought, food shortages, extreme heat and mass displacement of people.
These are a danger to us all. But the full NSA has been hidden, redacted!
Our demands:
-
Government must Tell the Truth by issuing and publicising the full, unredacted NSA.
-
Government must hold a UK wide briefing on the Climate and Nature Risks.
-
Act Now to mitigate against the serious threats to UK security
To build the world we want and need, to build a path for the survival of all life and for all generations to come, it’s clear society must have a common understanding of the facts. And we are going to insist upon it.
We are all in the same soup and it's coming to the boil!

Love, Rage and ACTION : Mon 14 Sept
On Monday 14th we take to the streets. The Government know that climate breakdown is here, yet where is their plan? How do they intend to secure a liveable future for the British people?
Time: Midday
Location: Central London, details coming soon
Love and Rage
Together we will shout from the rooftops with Love for the Earth, for Life itself.
We Rage against those who still deny the science and delay the change that’s so desperately needed. Rage! Yes and rightly so, because Government, the security services, the media all know that climate breakdown is happening - yet where is their plan? A plan to secure a liveable future for the British people? The full National Security Assessment has been hidden - redacted. So, to build the world we want and need, to build a path for our children’s survival, it’s clear society must have a common understanding of the facts. And we are going to insist upon it.
There will be noise. There will be love and it will be for EVERYONE.
Because we’re all in the same soup and it’s coming to the boil.

-
White Ferry House is a pub hostel that also looks like a good option, and there’s several hostels from the same brand in London:
-
YHA London Central is on the Victoria line, about a 10-15 minute walk from Oxford Circus tube station, which is a few stops away from Victoria station. Good option for people to book in groups.
-
Generator London is near King’s Cross, which is on the Victoria line. It looks pretty trendy, and has things like a bar and games nights: https://staygenerator.com/hostels/london
-
Clink261 is also near King’s Cross, and it has a pod room, where you get your own little enclosed bed, so could be good for people travelling alone who want some privacy:
-
Zedwell Capsule Hotel in Piccadilly is another Japanese-style capsule hotel where you’ve got your own little pod. It’s a little further away (you’ll need to change tube trains) and a little more expensive too, but looks comfortable and private:

To CREATE is to REBEL
To REBEL is to CREATE.
The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love.
This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and fire consumes all.
You have known hope and joy and kindness, like you have known water.
And justice is a river that demands you do not give up on it. ~ Nikita Gill
