There will be a morning of workshops on the second day of action to #disarmDSEI, including rebel clowning and banner making.
The afternoon will be focused on standing in solidarity with Afghani people.  Afghanistan is a clear example of the damaging effects of the arms trade.  There will be talks to inform you of what’s going on in Afghanistan, how you can help and an opportunity to show that we welcome Afghani refugees here!
Join us, and bring your own banners, placards, snacks, and creative actions.  There will be talks, performances and actions, celebrating the future we want to see, where migrants and refugees are welcomed, not arms dealers.
Feel free to just turn up on the day, or message us to get involved or find out more.

We urge those coming to any action to be COVID-safe, to protect our community and make this protest accessible to all.  Please take a test before coming, bring sanitiser and respect those who want to social distance.  Bring your own water bottle and mugs to get drinks on site!

Information about your legal rights on protests.  Take the time to learn your rights before attending the week of action, for your own protection and the protection of those around you.

***IMPORTANT***

It is crucial that everyone joining this wonderful week of resistance adheres to the Stop the Arms Fair Safer Spaces Policy.  Please also take a look at Campaign Against Arms Trade’s Action Guidelines on interactions with the police – who protect the arms trade, are part of the arms trade, and are institutionally racist – and on directing our protest at the arms industry (and so being mindful of the local community!).

Green and Black Cross will be coordinating legal observers throughout the week of action.
