Join us for “War Stops Here” – an all-day seminar designed to support and encourage activism against the arms trade led by members of War Resisters’ International‘s network of activists.
In September 2017, thousands of arms dealers will descend on London to market their wares to militaries from across the globe. Defence and Security Equipment International (DSEI) is one of the biggest arms fairs in the world and exports death and destruction around the world. But resistance to the arms trade is as international as their business! War Resisters’ International are bringing activists from across the world to London, including those from countries where the repercussions of the weapons marketed at DSEI will be felt, to share their work resisting the arms trade. This is a great chance to hear from antimilitarist activists from countries including South Sudan, Nepal, Germany, Turkey and South Korea.
There will be talks and workshops on campaign strategy, nonviolent direct action, creative campaigning and using legal mechanisms to disrupt the flow of arms to conflict zones.
Where? We’re planning to hold the seminar in an outdoor location very close to the venue for DSEI but we’ll have a back-up option too.
When? Sunday 10th September, 10.30 am to 4 pm
How do I take part? The seminar is free to attend and there is no need to book, just turn up on the day. For more information, and for updates, join the Facebook event. Get in touch at [email protected].
We are happy to be hosting the seminar alongside our partners Campaign Against Arms Trade, Peace Pledge Union , Trident Ploughshares and Fellowship of Reconciliation.
