PARTY AT THE PUMPS
• Saturday 10 April 2010
• Meet 1 PM at Oxford Circus with a Zone 1-2 travel card
[ATTACH]91103[/ATTACH]
BP want to start extracting oil from the tar sands, the single most destructive project on earth – fuelling climate chaos and trampling the rights of indigenous communities.
We want to stop them.
On Saturday 10 April, hundreds of people from London and beyond will gather at the pumps to send a message to BP: “You’re not going into the tar sands without a fight!”
Come to a mass action! Bring yourselves, your friends, whistles and drums if you have them, and a Zone 1-2 travel card. Meet at Oxford Circus and be ready to make a move to our final destination.

This action is part of the BP Fortnight of Shame. Organised by London Rising Tide/London Tar Sands Network, in solidarity with the Indigenous Environmental Network.
» No Tar Sands
The BP Fortnight of Shame (01-15 April 2010) is a call to action from the UK Tar Sands Network, Rising Tide, the Camp for Climate Action and the Indigenous Environmental Network to force BP to reverse their crazy plans to move into Canada’s tar sands. It runs between the annual Fossil Fools day on 01 April, which in recent years has seen a flurry of action against the fossil fuels industry, and BP’s Annual General Meeting on 15 April. Grassroots groups across the UK and around the world, will be taking action in solidarity with First Nations communities in Canada to stop BP’s deadly plans in their tracks.

good luck to you! i’d come along if i didn’t think the police would be all over this due to the graphic details of the meeting point blatently being posted on public websites… anyhoo .. hope all goes well!
I’d say good luck but as Daft has said advertising in this way will only end in you lot being nicked.
All the best though.
actually I looked at metpol site and there is an authorised march on the same date in a similar area. So either they will be tucked up with that (although metpol rarely “run out of units” like bumpkin constabularies) or it is the same thing and the cops know all about this and are letting it happen.
for all the faults of Blair its was at one point way easier to have a protest march in London han 20 years ago, and even after recent events I really doubt the met want another G20 style incident (I think climate camp passed off without major hassles)
