Armed Forces Day is unfortunately taking place again next Saturday, 28th June. There’s still time to request our free postcards, developed by Peace Pledge Union and ForcesWatch to hand out at Armed Forces Day events!
See here for images of the postcards: https://www.forceswatch.net/activity/armed-forces-day/
Armed Forces Day is designed to encourage support for, and glorification of, the military and war. It normalises military responses to conflict and portrays war-making as entertainment. Children are often given real weapons to handle.

Lynda Williams, the Physics Chanteuse, returns to the stage with her new one-woman science-political musical, Atomic Cabaret. This bold and radical show combines science, satire, and song to explore the existential risks of the nuclear age, from Trinity to Trident. With video projections of scientific visualizations and archival footage, and original music and songs, Atomic Cabaret offers a powerful and immersive experience that brings complex scientific ideas to life while addressing the urgent need for nuclear disarmament and global peace. Atomic Cabaret will be on tour in the UK in Summer 2025, with shows in Belfast, London, Glasgow, Durham Festival and Edinburgh Fringe Festival and other venues. https://tinyurl.com/yw83k72n
