Stop Arming Saudi – join us for a candlelit vigil for Yemen
The humanitarian crisis in Yemen is dire and getting worse. The number of deaths is likely to be underestimated. And yet the government continues to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia. Join us for a candlelit vigil to protest against and commemorate the lives that have been lost in the Yemen since the war began in March 2015. By supplying these weapons to the Saudi regime (£4.6bn since the war started), our government bears responsibility for the crisis.
We will be outside the government body responsible for promoting arms exports to oppressive regimes such as Saudi Arabia on November 26th from 5pm, calling for these sales to stop. Bring a candle if you have one. More details are on the Facebook event – please share it.
Take part in training to stop the DSEI arms fair
The DSEI arms fair is due to take place in London in September 2019. War Starts Here. We need to stop it here.
Join Beautiful Trouble to discover how can we escalate creative resistance to DSEI. Join them this Sunday 4th November, 9.30 – 4.30 to find out!
They will have an interactive dive into strategic creative cultural resistance and action. They will look at principles, theories, stories and tactics that every activist building for a more just world would want in their toolbox!
This workshop is FREE, and a simple picnic lunch will be provided.
This workshop is for people interested in skilling up, getting inspired and motivated, and then taking those skills, that inspiration and motivation back to your group of activists/organisers/ friends/rabble rousers to get stuck into the movement to shut down DSEI.
To apply, please fill in this short questionnaire. They will let you know if you have a place as soon as possible.
