Pödelwitz is an activist initiative in the central german coal district, which is located in a village which was supposed to be evacuated for a planned expansion of a neighboring coal mine.

Thereby we hope to arrive at an understanding of justice that is not opposed to urgent societal transformation in light of climate change, but a means of achieving this.
