Ep.04: Can you organize for climate with just 4 people? w/ Nawi

from The Last Fireflies

In this [Campfire Talk], you're dropped into the post-COVID lanscape of Polish grassroots activism, where our guest Nawi - an anti-gas campaigner - and her tight-knit crew of friends, known as bombelki, refused to settle for stagnation  and instead ignited a new rebellion against the fossil-fuel lobby's carefully crafted lies. This is a story of success that hasn't stopped unfolding - and one we can learn from in real time. And perhaps, gather our own friends for strategy meetings, as we explore in the [How To] section of this episode. Timestamps 00:31 [Campfire Talk] How do you organize in a small group? Learnings from Poland's climate activism 35:50 [How to] organize strategy meetings [Campfire Talk] How do you organize in a small group? Learnings from Poland's climate activism You'll hear how bombelki built a narrative designed to expose industry greenwashing, how they took on GazSystem with fearless, playful defiance, and how four people - just four - proved that friendship, creativity, and a refusal to overcomplicate can grow local activism. What began as a small rogue collective soon evolved into a national force, growing rapidly as they re-emerged under a new name, The Last Generation (@ostatniepokolenie) [How to] organise strategy meetings When you are just starting out, strategy can be overwhelming, especially if the group is small and you don't have a lot of activist experience. Nawi tells us that the first things to figure out are what your short and long-term goals are, who are the people you are trying to reach and who are your enemies, the "bad guys". Once these are known, it will be easier to develop a plan of action.  🎧 Find the full episode on Libsyn, Youtube and Others.  Resources: Ostatnie Pokolenie (Last Generation, ex-bombelki) instagram The Artivist Network website; check their Movement Support section, especially if you need a big projector!
