Barclays are closing a large branch in Wimbledon and a smaller branch is opening nearby on 27 April. It is such great news that our favourite fossil-fuel-financing, weapons-financing bank is still going to have a presence in Wimbledon - let's give them a warm welcome! The more the merrier. The welcome party will be there from 12pm until 2pm.

Our next XR Wandsworth book club title is a change of tack. World Without End by Jean-Marc Jancovici and Christophe Blain is a best-selling French graphic novel about the climate catastrophe.

As part of our Wake Up Wandsworth campaign, we had a successful action on 4 March to highlight the need for emergency planning at the local level. Now we're planning an action around biodiversity.  Do join us and get stuck into planning. 

Our fortnightly planning meetings are a good way to meet others from the Wandsworth group. If you're new and prefer just to take a back seat and observe for a bit, that's fine. All welcome! 

A talk on why local renewable energy is the best hope we have for taking control of our bills, disarming the fossil fuel industry and delivering climate justice, by Howard Johns, founder of POP Energy.

IT’S AN EMERGENCY!

Wandsworth Council must plan for climate emergency events NOW. We are asking the Council to screen the National Emergency Briefing for all councillors plus leaders from business, education, culture, faith, sport and media.

Our regular planning meeting will not take place as many people from XR Wandsworth will be at the lobby of Wandsworth Council the following day, on Wednesday 4 March, and we will get together in the nearby Brewer's Inn for a catch-up afterwards! Hope to see you there!
