Protest against the arms dealer dinner
London
The Aerospace, Defence and Security dinner will bring arms dealers, MPs and military personnel together to schmooze, swill champagne, and feast on expensive food. The companies attending have been heavily complicit in Israel’s genocide of Gaza as well as in other conflicts globally, such as Yemen and Sudan, and fuel death, destruction and violence across the globe.
We will not let those profiting from and enabling war to celebrate unchallenged. Bring yourselves, friends, banners, placards and your voice.
Venue tbc – we will update the event when we confirm where it is. londoncaat@riseup.net

‘Stopping Trump’s global war and new nuclear dangers’ – CND webinar
Online
Webinar looking at Britain’s nuclear expansion in the context of Trump’s escalating military aggression.
Trump’s global war drive is threatening countries’ sovereignty and populations – and is making the world far more dangerous. Starmer’s decision to expand Britain’s nuclear capability with the purchase of US F35A nuclear-capable fighter jets will tie Britain even more closely to the reckless leadership of Trump. This only increases the threat of nuclear weapons being used and drags us all closer towards nuclear war.
With guest speakers including John McEvoy, Declassified; Medea Benjamin, Code Pink; Sophie Bolt, CND; and Mary Meekings, UCU Head of Equality and Policy. Chaired by Tom Unterrainer, CND.

‘Peace & Climate’ – Bradford CND webinar
Online
Join Bradford CND for this online discussion to share information and campaign ideas.
We are in a new era of nuclear weapons escalation and increasing threats of use of nuclear weapons. Don’t be fooled there’s no such thing as a ‘tactical’ nuclear weapon. Most are bigger than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.Come along and hear about the return of US nukes to the UK and the billions of UK tax payer pounds committed to new nuclear warheads and nuclear capable jets rather than tackling the climate and nature emergency and inequality.
