Action

A blog from FALE, our sister network in Brazil.
In the next year, the SPEAK network is embarking on an ambitious quest to cycle, campaign, fundraise and share the Biblical call to justice around the country. Spearheaded by Fish, our regional support worker, we are hoping to notch up 1,103 miles (that's the number of passages in the Bible referring to creation), and we're hoping to do it ALL using pedal power. To make this happen, we're going to need YOU...
To coincide with the Rio +20, we are beginning SPEAK's first ever Bardic Bike tour this June - a crazy prophetic action on wheels, that will hopefully visit historic sites of protest around the UK and connect up to campaign and fundraise with local SPEAK groups along the way.
A packed bus, somewhere in the Netherlands. A few days before Easter. I saw an advertising-pillar at the bus stop. It had an advertisement of a German supermarket on it and promised me and other bus-travelers the following: “luxury for everyone!”.
At the end of February, SPEAK's Day of Action 2012 featured a demonstration outside Shell's London Headquarters in Waterloo to draw attention to the company's so far unmet responsibility to clean up extensive oil pollution in the Niger Delta.
We would be really grateful for your prayer support, and have drawn up some monthly prayer points that can be used individually or with your local SPEAK group.
Even if you didn't come to the Day of Action 2012 you can still arrange to meet your MP back home.
Holding a stall on campus, at your church or in your local community?
SPEAK, with Stop Climate Chaos, is calling for a big push to get our MPs to act on climate change after the Big Climate Connection lobby in November.
SPEAK values prayer as a part of our action on behalf of the poor and oppressed worldwide. See how you can get involved!
