In 2017, the climate justice movement was able to stop the wood clearing of the Hambach Forest for the mining pit for an entire clearing season 2017/2018 (October to March) by protests and legal complaints. It looks like RWE became afraid that the occupation of the forest by climate activists would prevent the wood clearing a second time. At the same time the coal commission started negotiations in Berlin to phase out coal mining and burning in Germany.

RWE and the police have started the clearing in the Hambach Forest since September, 6th. The police continued the eviction of the forest residents and destroyed tree houses of the Hambach Forest occupation. Hundreds of people came to Aktion Unterholz on Sept. 15th and built up the destroyed infrastructure and tree houses. A young journalist, died on Sept. 19th in Hambach Forest. The accident happened in the threatening situation by the intervention of the police in the occupied forest.

RWE remains unpunished for mining coal and destroying the climate. With this action of electronic disobedience we target RWE’s websites and attempt to cause the temporary suspension of their service. RWE is not allowed to disturb the residents inside the Hambi any further. RWE must stop clear-cutting the Hambach Forest immediately and put an end to lignite extraction.

Netzdemo Portal will launch an online protest in support of the Hambach Forest occupation #HambiBleibt, Ende Gelände and UntenLassen – climate justice actions – on the RWE Power AG websites on October 4th, 2018, starting at 8 o’clock in the morning.
