The need for a nuclear weapons-free zone in the Middle East is now more urgent than ever: it is vital in the struggle for peace across the region. A nuclear weapons-free Middle East could completely transform security relations within one of the world’s most unstable regions and is a crucial component in the struggle for a nuclear weapons-free world. We need dialogue without preconditions between the countries of the region and for other countries, such as Britain, to take more effective measures in UN forums to support such a zone.
With guest speakers including Mark Curtis, Declassified; Carol Turner, London CND Chair; and Jeremy Corbyn MP. Other speakers TBC. Chaired by Sophie Bolt, CND General Secretary.

BOOK TALK: SQUATTING LONDON with Samuel Burgum
London
N1 9DY
Housmans is very excited to welcome Samuel Burgum to talk about his vital new book about a facinating, and much neglected, part of our urban history. Squatting London: The Politics of Property is an account of the real lives of the city’s squatters: their ambitions and struggles. Squatting is a challenge to the logic of property which underpins the city. By finding refuge, staying put, creating spaces and participating in counter-cultures, squats are political acts. They sit in direct opposition to the speculation, gentrification and regeneration that controls London today. Bookings: https://tinyurl.com/ypxm8ksh
