WHAT: Mass action against Swedish forestry industry.
WHEN: Summer 2024
WHERE: Gävle Sweden.
Take Concrete Action (TCA) is a network of autonomous radicals in so called Sweden. Two years ago TCA did a successful blockade against the concrete factory Cementa, on Gotland. This summer TCA is going for the forestry capital, with a mass direct action in Gävle. (Date is TBA)
“What lobby organizations, easily bought politicians and dubious scientists call a forest is not the same as what most of us think of when we hear the word. It’s not a bushy, messy, busy place. They are gigantic plantations. Since the end of the nineties, both the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and Swedish forestry companies have been using a definition of forest that even includes clear-cut forests (where all tress are literally cut down). An incestuous relationship exists between Swedish authorities, the forest industry and research.
The PR image that the forestry and pulp industry have managed to establish on their business is total fiction – pulp fiction.
Our network have spent some time studying, writing about and taking action in questions about forestry. In the summer of 2024 we will arrange a climate camp in Gävle, with aim at the pulp industry, together with both old and new comrades… Conscious consumption choices are not enough, we have to change the whole shit.. Join!”
