SUMMARY:One Year until DSEI - Planning Day
DESCRIPTION:Stop The Arms Fair (STAF) is a collective of groups and individ
 uals who organise to take action against DSEI\, one of the worlds largest 
 arms fair\, which takes place every two years at the Excel Centre in Newha
 m.\n\nIn 2021\, DSEI brought together over 30\,000 arms buyers and dealers
  to network and make deals. Governments and military delegations\, includi
 ng from countries involved in military conflicts and at war and on the gov
 ernment’s own list of human rights abusers\, browsed the wares of 1\,600
 + arms companies selling everything from guns and bombs to fighter jets an
 d warships. They were be joined by companies selling surveillance equipmen
 t\, drones and other tools of repression to police and state agencies\, as
  Counter Terror Expo took place alongside DSEI. DSEI is an important event
  for the UK state\, which heavily subsidises and promotes the arms industr
 y\, and helps organise the arms fair. It is where war starts but it is als
 o where we can stop it.\n\nThe day of planning will involve discussing the
  structure and future of STAF and how we can best plan for DSEI 2023 and f
 uture DSEI’s. We welcome new and old STAF crew to come join us on this d
 ay. STAF welcomes people of all different skills whether you are creative\
 , an incredible organiser or have ideas you want to make happen. This meet
 ing with be more focused on forming structure and forming working groups s
 o they will have a focused agenda. However\, there will be regular open me
 etings after this so there will be plenty of time to incorporate everyone
 ’s ideas\, and if you can’t make this date or want to get involved in 
 a different way\, no problem\, just drop thema message so we can keep in c
 ontact.\n\nYou can keep in touch through their Facebook\, Instagram and Tw
 itter @stopthearmsfair!\n\nOn the day they will have some food and drinks 
 available but please do bring along some lunch and whatever else you might
  need.
