Green & Black Cross Projects | Green & Black Cross

The Green & Black Cross is an entirely independent grassroots project set up in the spirit of mutual aid and solidarity to support autonomous social struggles within the UK. It's a new project set up in November 2010 to provide legal support for protests against the governements wave of massive spending cuts. The project takes inspiration from the Anarchist Black Cross and diverse skills and infrastructure built up over the last decade or so by elements of the environmental movement, such as The Camp for Climate Action.

Currently Green & Black Cross has one active wing, the Legal Support project, but additional projects are already coming together. Working groups for both Street Medics and Action Kitchens working groups have now been initiated and the projects will be out in the streets soon. Please do get involved.

Future projects planned include prisoner support, child care, trauma support, fundraising assistance, logistics and workshops/training. We don't intend to replicate or duplicate infrastructure or support projects already active in any given area, but hopefully advance colaboration between them with GBC acting as one possible portal.

If you'd like to get involved with any of these projects or have other ideas then please get in touch or better yet, look out for future GBC meetings and come along.

The next....
GREEN & BLACK CROSS MEETING
16 Jan, 12-4pm
LARC, 62 Fieldgate Street, Whitechapel, E1 1ES

If you would like to get involved in GBC come along to our next meeting on the 16th January 12-4pm, where we will be discussing how we support anti cuts and other grassroots groups and protests over the coming months. We are hoping to have active legal, medic and kitchens groups for the protests this month but we've many ideas beyond these groups so if you're interested in another support group e.g. trauma support, radical childcare etc please come along. For further information please email gbc[at]riseup.net. If you require childcare on the day we can provide it at the venue once we have advance notice. GBC, x
