The Activists Caf\u00e9 is still engaging with topics for change two years after its launch and climate change is top of the agenda this November\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cardiff Activists Caf<\/span>\u00e9<\/span> is meeting this month to discuss direct action and creative protest, two years since the group\u2019s first event. <\/span><\/p>\n

The group<\/span> will be looking at how they can directly confront environmental issues and will <\/span>convene in Riverside\u2019s Wyndham St Centre on 28 November.<\/span><\/p>\n

The discussion will <\/span>shine a spotlight on the imminent threat of global warming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set up between the Cardiff People\u2019s Assembly (against austerity) and sustainable charity group Cardiff Transition, <\/span>the Caf\u00e9 was formed in 2016<\/span><\/a> to unite those frustrated by the stagnant state of the current political, economic and environmental world. <\/span><\/p>\n

It brings together social and environmental activists, said Transition\u2019s Pat Gregory. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe way we run the events has changed a bit across time,\u201d she added. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the Caf\u00e9\u2019s aims since 2016 has been to build social connections, she explained, and now the group is putting more time into the sharing of ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n

This month\u2019s Caf\u00e9 speakers will look at examples of successful protest in the past and share ideas for campaigning on current issues, including climate change.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Pat said that there is an urgency to address climate change in 2018. <\/span><\/p>\n

She mentioned the Extinction Rebellion\u2019s ongoing non-violent civil disobedience and said: \u201cIt\u2019s a good time to be thinking about how we can make protest more effective, visible and creative!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Extinction Rebellion is a campaign for change to the political and economic system and it demands the government to implement these changes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pat said that serious change can only be government led.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the <\/span>recent press release<\/span><\/a> regarding European Parliament\u2019s decision to ban single-use plastics, some progress is evidently being made; however, according to Pat, it is not enough. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment action needs to go beyond single issue campaigns, there needs to be a sincere acknowledgement of the need for profound change,\u201d she said. <\/span><\/p>\n
