There will be events protesting this arms fair in the week before and during the fair itself. See https://caat.org.uk/ for info nearer the time.
WiB - London meets every Wednesday, around the statue of Edith Cavell in St Martin’s Place 6-7. We are very happy to welcome new women to the vigils – even if they can only come once in a while.
Come and join us near the south side of Trafalgar Square/northern end of Whitehall, not far from the Dept for Business & Trade, to raise awareness of the DSEI arms fair with leaflets, placards and banners and to make the link with the government department which supports and promotes it. An important part of our message this year will be No Arms for Genocide.
Come when you can and stay as long as you can.

Speaker: Chris Harrison. Among many prominent black 18th century British citizens, Ignatius Sancho is distinguished for the breadth of his interests & the range of his social contacts. A writer, composer & owner of a small business, he was acquainted with many important figures of his time, including Laurence Sterne, David Garrick, Joseph Nollekens & the Montagu family. He is one of the first black Britons to have voted in a general election – a considerable achievement for someone thought to have been born on a slave ship crossing the Atlantic. Chris Harrison, musician & educator, has done much to raise awareness of Sancho’s life & work & will tell the story of how Sancho made this remarkable journey, illustrated by a live performance by members of the Hackney Community Orchestra (of which Chris is musical director) of some of Sancho’s music.
