SUMMARY:Armidale Farmers Market
DESCRIPTION:Armidale Farmers Market is on 2nd Sunday each month 8:30am–12:30pm at Curtis Park \nOne of the great advantages of Curtis Park is that many people will be able to cycle and walk to the market. We’re always working on new ideas and activities in the pipeline and are aiming to continue to provide a vibrant and quality market. Keep an eye out on our Facebook page and Instagram. \nIf you are a paid up member of Sustainable Living Armidale you are welcome to sell produce at the Armidale Local Food stall with a slice of profits going to paying for the stall and surplus goes to SLA which in turn propels new projects. \nBYO bags + reuseables\, we’re aiming for a plastic free zone!

SUMMARY:Rising Tide Action Camp!
DESCRIPTION:ACTION CAMP is LIVE | August 15-17 \nDear friends and comrades\, \nYou are cordially invited to Rising Tide Sydney’s Action Camp\, a melting pot of activist skill- and relationship-building held together with Rising Tide’s key strategic drive: do things that build power and momentum. \nThe program will include trainings from the Foundations curriculum\, as well as other key skill-based workshops in NVDA\, spokes-council decision-making\, community care\, and more core Rising Tide content. \nIn exciting news\, we’re also bringing skilled facilitators and speakers from around allied movements in Sydney to run sessions. So far\, these include (not limited to): \n\nLegal observers training and the Resisting Repression workshop from Legal Observers NSW\,\nDoor-knocking and deep canvassing training from the Greens and Inner West for Palestine\,\nActivist cooking and mutual aid with Food not Bombs (also assisting our catering!)\,\n\nWe also have access to a podcast studio that holds a live audience\, so that forums and presentations from experienced activists can be recorded for distribution\, multiplying and preserving the value of the wisdom that can be shared. Sessions we’re looking towards include (not limited to): \n\nPractical intersectional solidarity\,\nUnion organising skills and context\,\nThe economics of fossil fuel exports.\n\nWe’re making Action Camp a vibe with crafty spaces and relationship-building activities like: \n\nzine-making\, banner-painting\, group singing workshops (and more)\,\na semi-facilitated “People’s Supper” on Friday night\,\na concert on Saturday night (theme: Birds of a Feather)\n\nWe’re also planning a powerful action for the Monday 18th of August\, which will be prepped over the weekend. \n\nIf you’re not able to go RED during this year’s blockade\, but are still interested in direct action\, consider whether participating in Sydney’s action may be for you.\n\nIf you are not Sydney-based\, there are free camping options and billets available and we would love to host you! \n\nAction Camp is open to everyone\, and we are particularly encouraging folks to attend who are based anywhere from Canberra in the south\, to the Blue Mountains in the west\, to Newcastle in the north\nThis is an amazing opportunity to build connections between some of the largest and some of the newest Hubs in the population centres of NSW and the ACT\nFolks from further afield are also warmly encouraged to attend\n\nhttps://www.risingtide.org.au/action-camp \nWe’ve been nearly gifted Addison Road community centre for a full weekend (a cornerstone of nearly any grassroots political organising in Sydney)\, since the folks that run the joint see Rising Tide’s potential to bring people together as something they want to invest in.
