Friends were among those who joined a nationwide day of action against fossil fuels on 1 June. The action was organised by campaigning group Reclaim the Power.

Crawshawbooth Friend Hilary Whitehead spent three days at a Reclaim the Power action camp close to the RWE npower-owned Didcot power station in Oxfordshire. She was one of more than 250 protesters, who she described on her blog as ‘like-minded people who feel angry with governments and corporations and the system of domination and power they have created’.
