tCA news - march 2010
what's on top
This month, tCA's Jas and James are working with social justice organisations in Sydney. We've developed two great new guides for community organisers - collections of resources for supporting action groups - to serve as the basis for a three-day social movement education workshop. Sam and Holly will be part of Australia's second Climate Action Summit from March 13-15. Anth's interesting analysis of the Vindaloo Against Violence campaign is included as an article in this enews. And James shared his reflections on climate action research at a UTS conference.
We hope you enjoy this enews and always welcome contributions and feedback.
