Wednesday 16 April 2025, 5.30-8pm - Reclaim The Power
Imagine Leeds, 9 Blenheim Terrace, Leeds LS2 9HZ
This month’s guest speaker will be a representative from Reclaim The Power. They will give a short talk around 6.30pm about their campaign against Drax power station in Selby and taking direct action in the context of new police powers.
In 2024, Reclaim the Power mobilised hundreds of people with plans to set up a climate camp against Drax Power station, but it was preemptively shut down by the police, who arrested 25 people on the eve of the camp. After some time to recover from this shock, Reclaim the Power have begun a new strategy to take on Drax's dirty power. Come along to hear about how you can get involved to take on Drax in 2025.
We meet at Imagine Leeds: the climate action hub, which is run by Climate Action Leeds at 9 Blenheim Terrace, LS2 9HZ.
We welcome folks from all backgrounds. You can expect to meet students, entrepreneurs, sustainability professionals, community organisers, campaigners, academics and more!
Most of this event will be agenda free - chance to hangout, network, catch up with friends, and find out what is going on in Leeds’ green scene.
Feel free to bring along some food to share - vegetarian or vegan is preferred, and please label any allergens. You are also welcome to bring your own drinks to enjoy (alcohol is permitted). The organisers will be providing some nibbles and hot and cold drinks. We do not expect that alcohol will be a significant feature of the evening.
