Anne Schulthess from CND will lead the discussion.

London Peace Pilgrimage for Syria on Human Rights Day. We will be calling for an immediate ceasefire and a Syrian-led peace process; applying pressure on all parties to address the desperate humanitarian situation and end the grave human rights abuses without the use of further violence; expressing solidarity with Syrian activists non-violently working for peace, freedom, human rights and social justice; and calling on all foreign actors to stop fuelling the conflict through arms supplies and other forms of military interference.

Talk and discussion on the situation in Syria, followed by a planning meeting, from 6.30 to 9.30pm. Rami Hussein will speak about the ongoing crisis in Syria and the humanitarian and political situation in the country. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity for questions and discussion. After the talk and discussion, we will continue to make plans for our upcoming Peace Pilgrimage for Syria, to take place in central London on Tuesday 10th December, International Human Rights Day.

Are you a grassroots organiser / activist wondering where to find the strength to keep going? Working on the front lines of a campaign can be emotionally confusing and energetically draining. Often, our focus on the challenges at hand can leave little room for the challenges within ourselves and can disconnect us from our original motivations. This open workshop is for people who are, have been, or would like to be, active in grassroots movements.
Donations for the facilitation are welcome, but not obligatory. Lunch will be provided for a donation of up to £4.

Social movements in Britain have long talked about being inclusive, anti-oppressive, diverse and non-hierarchical. However, many people who would be part of a strong and diverse movement are currently marginalised, while others aren't yet aware of how their behaviour can exclude others. This weekend is an opportunity to reflect deeply on our own power; where it comes from and how we use it.
6pm Friday– 4pm Sunday.
