> Hi,
>
> you sent in an email in support of the Vestas occupation. Nearly  
> two thousand of you nation-wide felt strongly enough that closing  
> our only wind turbine factory and cutting 600 jobs on the Isle of  
> Wight was a disgrace, lobbied Ed Miliband, or sent in solidarity  
> 'Save Vestas' photos.
>
>  Currently, Vestas management, together with the police, are  
> restricting the occupiers' food supply, bringing them a limited  
> amount of food while refusing to allow onto the site supporters  
> with enough food to keep the occupation going.
>
>  On the second day of the occupation, a mass walk-in got food to  
> the occupied area of the factory. On saturday the 25th, at 2pm, we  
> intend to stage a second mass walk in with food, this time with  
> every activist and supporter who can make it to the island.
>
>
>  The primary aim is to ensure the occupiers have enough food to  
> hold out for as long as they need to, and aren't at the mercy of  
> the management for their next meal.
>
>  The secondary is to show the government that supporters of the  
> Vestas occupation are willing to ACT in support of the occupation  
> and green energy.
>
>  Transport details for the Isle of Wight can be found on the  
> savevestas blog at http://savevestas.wordpress.com/2009/07/22/ 
> vestas-occupiers-face-sack/.
>
> If you can't make it to the island yourself, you can still help by  
> spreading the word - forward this email, ring your friends or  
> contact networks involved in this sort of campaigning. The  
> SaveVestas group is still quite new and there will be many contacts  
> others have that we don't.
>
>  ACT now in support of the Vestas workers' brave action - come to  
> the isle of wight for 12 noon to show the government that the  
> people of Britain will hold them to their promises of green energy.  
> In solidarity,
>
