- Part 1: locally (not in Copenhagen)

1. Locally (not in Copenhagen)
The climate justice fast (hunger strike) has started on November 1 and is gaining momentum with people participating in various places. Since then, many have joined the fast which is "beyond activism as usual". Chose to fast for only one day or ultimately or support it:

Action or demonstration on December 12 (Saturday, the big day of demonstration in Copenhagen):
- There is a call for local, regional or national demonstrations and climate action on this day. E.g. see: http://www.climate-justice-action.org/news/2009/08/14/december-12th/ or: http://www.foei.org/en/what-we-do/un-climate-talks/global/2009/demand-climate-justice-in-copenhagen. It would be a surprise if pro natura, FoE Switzerland ; http://www.foei.org/en/who-we-are/member-directory/groups-by-region/switzerland.html) mobilized for the day. However, certainly, some (others) will prepare action on this day in Switzerland.
- It is a good day to postulate the number 350 (350.org) again. Others have planned to do it loudly on 13.12., throughout the country, and it seems these plans will materialize: (http://www.oeku.ch/de/index.php). If so, your calling for "350" on Sat 12 or Sun 13 would not be isolated, it could get some press.
- Media work: Seize the opportunity to get newspaper articles published around December 12. People will be talking about climate change during these days. It would be good to convey the message, why 10'000-60'000 activists —perhaps more— will then be in Copenhagen and what their protest is all about. (Or why churchbells rang 350 times.)

- Information in newsletter (link above)
- The general info site, which provides hints regarding legal rights and particularly imprisonment: http://www.blackcross.dk/ go to: "legal rights" (essentials) or "text" (a manual for a 'prolonged stay' in Copenhagen). These sections are in english, too. Both sections are available as pdf. The "text" might be worth looking at: At least somewhere you find the sentences: "To poison the city well was in older times one of the most severe crimes one could imagine. Today the authorities look more mildly upon the ones that contaminate our common water and air." How very true.
Zeitungsartikel über die Absicht, das Demonstrationsrecht in Dänemark auf die Konferenz hin massiv zu verschärfen. : http://www.taz.de/1/politik/europa/artikel/1/klima-demos-unerwuenscht/ Vergleiche auch die Wochenzeitung (WoZ) vom 12. November 2009. {Article in German about current attempts to render the law against protesters very repressive, which is being debated in Denmark these days (around December 16, 2009)} - Statement by a local on passive weapons use (use of protection): "Its legal to wear protection during actions and its pretty normal that people make legs and arm protection in plastic. its not illegal to wear helmets during a demo either, but its not normal in DK. people generally don't protect the heads of some reason. Your not allowed to mask yourself when you are in a demonstration, which meens that you can get a fine if you have a scarf covering your face. however it is december so it will be common sense to bring a scarf or a hat. You can wear sunglasses, but I guess if its not sunny and your also wearing full on protection gear they might still fine you for being masked, its a grey zone i'd say. In general the police feel very strongly about this mask thing as its a easy way for them to harass people, so they generally try to stop demonstrations where people are masked, even if it is a very peacefull demo."
- Remark on knives: Allegedly, knifes with a self-locking blade, or knives with blades which can be handled (opened) with one hand only or any knives with a blade any longer than very short are prohibited.
