This January, CAAT will again take the UK government to court to demand an end to the UK complicity in the war in Yemen. Over the next couple of months there will be many opportunities to support our legal challenge and stand in solidarity with the people of Yemen.
As they launch the Solidarity With Yemen campaign, they invite you to join our national day of action on Saturday 3rd December 2022. Take action in your local community and with your friends and family to challenge the UK government’s continued arms sales to the Saudi-led coalition for use in Yemen.
The war in Yemen has been raging for almost eight years. It has led to the deaths of over 370,000 people through direct and indirect causes, according to the UN, with the UK supplying over £23 billion worth of arms to Saudi Arabia since the conflict began. For further information about the conflict, check out the campaigns pack on their website.
The fighter jets, bombs, missiles and other equipment used in this conflict could be manufactured in a town or city near you – check out our interactive map that displays manufacturing sites across the UK.
To support your actions on Saturday 3rd December 2022 they have also launched the Solidarity With Yemen Fund, which is available for groups of activists to apply for funding to take creative action wherever they are. More details here.
