Tank the Arms Fair is a BIG day of action to resist the opening of the DSEI arms fair.
This day of action will take place at the west entrance to the arms fair (near the Royal Victoria DLR station) on its opening day, as arms buyers and dealers and state and military delegations from 100+ countries arrive to browse the weaponry on sale – from guns and bombs to fighter jets and warships – to listen to keynote speakers and watch live action demos in the Royal Victoria Dock, but most of all to network and make deals.
Head straight to the site, or join Mad Hatters and Trident Ploughshares at Stratford Station (not Stratford International!) to walk to the site via Plaistow talking to East Londoners on the way about the huge arms fair taking place on their doorstep.
On site there will be speakers including Kate Hudson (CND), a workshop to learn Dabke Dance, a Quaker Meeting for Worship, and much more. More info about the programme of events will follow soon, so click attending on and share the Facebook event, and check back later!
