Outside the ExCeL exhibition centre which is the chosen venue for another planned “DSEi” arms fair.

You can also join in if you are not musical. We need people to collect a petition, hold up posters, give out leaflets etc. Custom House DLR Station from there follow the signs to ExCeL.

Take part in a spooky action at the arms dealers’ ghoulish dinner. High-level arms dealers and arms dealing civil servants are meeting at the Tower of London for a £200-a-head dinner to “Raise [their] profile” and “forge and strengthen strategic alliances”.
They’ve chosen a ghoulish location for their dinner, so let’s haunt them as they arrive! Feel free to come in the most ghoulish costume you can find and help spread the word.

7 people were arrested and charged for blocking entrances to the DSEI arms fair as part of a mass action on September 8th. Come and demonstrate your support outside the court. https://www.facebook.com/events/1414329932128337/?source=1
Speakers include Bruce Kent, Mark Bitel (CAAT) and local MP Cathy Jamieson as well as live music by local artists.
Join us outside the constituency office of Business Secretary Vince Cable MP, who is responsible for licensing arms exports. We will be reminding him that it is wrong for our government to promote and subsidise arms sales to repressive regimes and wrong to positively encourage poorer countries to divert scarce resources from health and education to weapons.
Please come and support these vigils.
Batteresa Speaker/Discussion meeting. Speaker Anne-Marie O'Reilly (Campaign Against The Arms Trade)

The government is welcoming the world’s worst human rights abusing regimes to shop for weapons in London. WHAT WILL YOU DO?
A massive arms fair is planned to take place in the UK in September 2013. The UK government plans to invite human rights abusing regimes, such as China, Zimbabwe, Indonesia, Bahrain, Russia and Saudi Arabia, to the London arms fair to court them and sell them weapons.
MUSICAL PROTEST AGAINST THE THREAT OF ANOTHER ARMS FAIR. This will be outside the ExCeL exhibition centre which is the chosen venue for another planned “DSEi” arms fair.

BAE Systems is on the run but we're hot on its heels.
Arms company BAE Systems would rather its shareholders weren't reminded where their profits actually come from. It is so keen to whitewash its image, that it has moved its Annual General Meeting from a prestigious venue in Westminster back to home turf in Farnborough.
They want to hide. So it's up to us to make sure they can't.
