The Ministry of Defence makes its buying decisions in Bristol so arms companies surround it too. The weapons and components made in our city fuel death and destruction around the world.

This means we can also have a huge impact. Our protest at a drones conference in Bristol last year meant that a conference in Bath the following month was cancelled. We can take action in solidarity with people who face the weapons made and sold here. We can challenge and impede the arms industry's business.

The level of risk for journalists in the country is extremely high and yet the imperative to cover what is happening there is equally so.

Dan Eldon was a 22-year-old photojournalist working in Mogadishu, Somalia, when he was killed in 1993. His mother, Kathy Eldon, heart broken by her son’s death, turned her mind to how she could transform the horror of what happened to him into a positive force for good. She will be joining us to talk about her journey, how she travelled to Somalia to try and understand why her son had been killed and how his life inspired her and her daughter, Amy Eldon Turteltaub, to start the Creative Visions Foundation, to support creative activists who use media and the arts to create social impact.
