#22: Acampada Brighton

I first noticed an encampment on the Old Stein yesterday. Today I spoke to Carlos Genova, a resident of the camp, about what it’s all about. It goes under several names including Spanish Revolution and Global Revolution – but I like the Twitter tag – #AcampadaBrighton (apparently this is going on in many countries across the world so you can just substitute Brighton with many other cities). In essence – it’s all about peace, giving and environmental responsibility.

I wish them the very best of luck.
