23rd August Over 7500 people from almost 30 countries stood hand in hand, demonstrating against what would be Europe's biggest brown coal open-pit mine and for a real energy transition. They formed a cross-border Human Chain, spanning eight kilometres between the communities of Kerkwitz in Germany and Grabice in Poland. Both places, as well as others, are in danger of falling victim to plans for open-pit mines.
