            <description><![CDATA[Solidarity with UPIII sentenced to 9 months in prison for drumming at the Hambach Forest in NorthRheinWestfalia, Germany when the police came to make a raid. Judge reasoned the high sentence also as a warning for other activists who might want to stop the cutting of the ancient forest this Autumn. The company RWE wants to cut it to expand their mega-polluting giant brown coal mine close by to Cologne. Many thanks to all the brave activists who are right now doing what they can to stop this tragedy and our special thoughts to those who end up with legal repression, prison sentences, fines, forbidden to go to the forest. Let's carry this burden collectively and support our prisoners, write letters, share costs of bail and fines, provide legal support.<br />
<br />
Solidarity with all prisoners in the prison-industrial complex. Free them all! <br />
Solidarity with the countless animals kept captive under the most unimaginably appalling conditions. <br />
Open the cages, let what's wild run free. Go vegan, abolish prisons, slaughterhouses, factory farms. Shut down the coal mines oil rigs power plants make the changes we need to survive create a new culture in the shell of the old.<br />

In memory of those loved places, plants, trees, rivers, habitats and homes that have been torn from us and destroyed. All the lost corners where we stopped to rest, where we spoke of our fears for the future, where we shared company with the beings of the forest and felt that we were walking on sacred ground, where our plans and dreams took root and grew into beautiful trees that bore unique fruits.<br />
In eternal thanks to those beings that welcomed us into their forest, into their ecosystem, those ancient beings who allowed us to climb their high branches and take up their cause. Too many have fallen. Our wild kin are under attack and its up to us to stop it.<br />
In solidarity with the wild places under threat right now, being destroyed right now, all those beings who deserved so much more than this betrayal of everything alive, may the chainsaws sieze up and their monstrous machines crumble into the sand. <br />
An end has to come. Will it be our greed that ends first or our nourishing Earth? <br />

            <description><![CDATA[This song is in solidarity with the occupied Hambach Forest in Germany, which is currently being evicted by police before cutting season begins.<br />
Since 1978, the company RWE has been destroying more of the forest every year to expand one of three massive open cast brown coal mines in the region, one of the biggest CO2 emitters in Europe. The world is burning for our carbon fumes, this issue starts for us here in Hambach but has implications for the whole world. Its all connected. <br />
People have been occupying since over 6 years to hinder the destruction. Let’s make a big resistance this year to save what’s left of the forest, and to stop this profit-crazed coal rush. <br />
RWE have promised in court not to cut til October 14th. However, they've already cut hundreds of trees during eviction, also outside of eviction area.<br />
As many people as possible are needed to come to join the defense of the forest, climb up in the trees, support from the ground, act in solidarity elsewhere and stop them from cutting the trees.<br />
You’ll find the latest news, and upcoming events and ways to help, at https://hambacherforst.org <br />
<br />
Some dates: <br />
Right now the skillsharing camp is taking place, that will end on 3rd October.<br />
The next forest walk will be this Sunday 30th September. <br />
There will be a big demo on 6 October<br />
An Ende Gelaende mass action will take place between 25th-29th October (more info at https://www.ende-gelaende.org ).<br />
Aktion Unterholz contributes to the resistance with civil disobedience https://aktion-unterholz.org/ <br />
<br />
If you want to get rid of some money for a good cause, you can donate to Hambach Forest occupation https://hambachforest.org/join-in/donations<br />
<br />
Lyrics<br />
I’d like to tell the story of a forest that I know<br />
And many a forest season, sunshine rain or snow<br />
Of the brave folks that live there to stop the giant hole<br />
To save the ancient forest from the cruel chainsaw blow<br />
The trees are full of life but they want to cut them low<br />
But we won’t let that happen, because they’ve got to grow<br />
Got to let the forest grow if we want to live any more<br />
The seeds that we sow go further than we know.<br />
<br />
CHORUS1: It’s not over, it’s not over<br />
                    The forest is growing on<br />
                    So stand by your tree, <br />
                    Stop their foul machines from coming<br />
                    For our home, it’s not over.<br />
<br />
The forest is being ripped up for the coal under it’s roots<br />
So six years ago folks came down to defend what’s good<br />
They built up treehouses, tunnels and nets<br />
Lived within this wondrous forest the whole summer long yet<br />
As Autumn turned to Winter the police came to evict<br />
After four long days we lost that brave fight<br />
But we didn’t give up our courage and leave the forest alone<br />
Before very long we’d a meadow for a home.<br />
<br />
CHORUS2: We are growing, we are growing<br />
                     The forest is growing strong<br />
                     So stand by your tree<br />
                     Stop their foul machines from coming<br />
                     For our home, it’s not over.<br />
<br />
Soon new treehouses were built and the cops again come / to evict them but the struggle goes on<br />
Banners rise up, shining in the sun / and in the night pixies make mischief and run!<br />
Since so long the forest has been shrinking every year / I can’t disguise the sorrow in my tears <br />
I can’t hide the rage that I feel / They’re coming back to cut again it’s time to act here <br />
and now it’s the time to come / in numbers to Hambach forest and stay strong as one<br />
And who can’t come down, still do what they can / To stop the eviction and the destruction.<br />
<br />
CHORUS3: Hambach’s growing, forest’s growing<br />
                    Hambach forest is growing strong<br />
                    So stand by your trees, stop their foul machines from coming<br />
                    For our home, it’s not over.<br />
<br />
The company is called RWE / They want to cut the forest for their coal energy<br />
Giant open cast mines in the west of Germany / They’d sacrifice our world for profit and greed<br />
They’ve been given the protection of the state police<br />
Who work hand in hand with the private security<br />
Their violence is legal but they call it criminality <br />
When you come down to the forest and stand by your tree.<br />
<br />
CHORUS4: We are growing, we are growing / And our hearts are raging strong<br />
                    So stand by your tree, come from far and near<br />
                    To Hambach Forest, we are growing.]]></description>
            <googleplay:description><![CDATA[This song is in solidarity with the occupied Hambach Forest in Germany, which is currently being evicted by police before cutting season begins.<br />
Since 1978, the company RWE has been destroying more of the forest every year to expand one of three massive open cast brown coal mines in the region, one of the biggest CO2 emitters in Europe. The world is burning for our carbon fumes, this issue starts for us here in Hambach but has implications for the whole world. Its all connected. <br />
People have been occupying since over 6 years to hinder the destruction. Let’s make a big resistance this year to save what’s left of the forest, and to stop this profit-crazed coal rush. <br />
RWE have promised in court not to cut til October 14th. However, they've already cut hundreds of trees during eviction, also outside of eviction area.<br />
As many people as possible are needed to come to join the defense of the forest, climb up in the trees, support from the ground, act in solidarity elsewhere and stop them from cutting the trees.<br />

Lyrics<br />
I’d like to tell the story of a forest that I know<br />
And many a forest season, sunshine rain or snow<br />
Of the brave folks that live there to stop the giant hole<br />
To save the ancient forest from the cruel chainsaw blow<br />
The trees are full of life but they want to cut them low<br />
But we won’t let that happen, because they’ve got to grow<br />
Got to let the forest grow if we want to live any more<br />
The seeds that we sow go further than we know.<br />
<br />
CHORUS1: It’s not over, it’s not over<br />
                    The forest is growing on<br />
                    So stand by your tree, <br />

Lyrics
I’d like to tell the story of a forest that I know
And many a forest season, sunshine rain or snow
Of the brave folks that live there to stop the giant hole
To save the ancient forest from the cruel chainsaw blow
The trees are full of life but they want to cut them low
But we won’t let that happen, because they’ve got to grow
Got to let the forest grow if we want to live any more
The seeds that we sow go further than we know.

CHORUS1: It’s not over, it’s not over
                    The forest is growing on
                    So stand by your tree, 
                    Stop their foul machines from coming
                    For our home, it’s not over.

The forest is being ripped up for the coal under it’s roots
So six years ago folks came down to defend what’s good
They built up treehouses, tunnels and nets
Lived within this wondrous forest the whole summer long yet
As Autumn turned to Winter the police came to evict
After four long days we lost that brave fight
But we didn’t give up our courage and leave the forest alone
Before very long we’d a meadow for a home.
