We Have 100 Billion Better Ideas
From May 27 to 31, 2026, a large climate camp will take place in Hamm, in the Ruhr region. This is because a particularly large number of new gas-fired power plants are planned for the Ruhr region. Right here, where our struggles have already achieved the phase-out of coal, we want to finally make the strength of the climate justice movement visible once again. At the camp, we want to network, learn from one another, share ideas, cook and eat together, have fun, and show that we have 100 billion better ideas than pouring money into war, weapons, gas, and neocolonial exploitation. We are fighting for a climate-just future and a good life for all. There will be a demonstration and a variety of colorful actions. With a major act of civil disobedience, Ende Gelände will stand up to fossil fuel-dependent, war-promoting, and neocolonial conditions.
Join us! Be part of it! Get organized! Together, we’ll make the camp and the actions a huge success! Let’s be the sand in the machinery of fossil capitalism.
More gas-fired power plants? Not with us!
After the so-called traffic-light coalition government in Germany sank billions into LNG terminals—thereby cementing our dependence on fossil gas until 2048—the CDU-SPD coalition now wants to shell out the next few billion for fossil-fuel infrastructure. This time, the plan is to build about 20 new gas-fired power plants to generate ten gigawatts of electricity. Meanwhile, the impacts of the climate crisis are becoming faster and more destructive, and we’ve all known this for a long time: gas is a catalyst for the climate crisis!
That is why we are once again calling for a mass action. Let’s stop the construction of new gas-fired power plants!
Gas is Setting the World On Fire
Fossil fuels are fuels of war. They are a flashpoint in the war in Ukraine, in the U.S. invasion of Venezuela, and in the war waged by Israel and the U.S. against Iran, which is setting the entire Gulf region aflame. In all these criminal wars, fossil fuels themselves become a weapon. Pipelines are blown up, oil depots set ablaze, refineries and liquefied natural gas plants bombed, while fossil fuel corporations make extra crisis profits and the aggressors’ war chests are filled. Fossil fuels also play a cruel role as a weapon in the genocides of our time. The people of Gaza continue to be systematically cut off from electricity and cooking gas by Israel. Time will tell how far the U.S. will go with its imperial total blockade of energy
supplies to Cuba.
Fossil fuels and imperial arms buildup are making the world extremely unsafe. Let’s stop this deadly war policy!
Dates: 27.-31.05.
