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.

Speakers include: Dr Richard Horton (The Lancet), John Hillary (War on Want and Progressive Development Forum), Tamasin Cave (Spinwatch), Professor Sir Iain Chalmers (James Lind Library), Sir Andy Haines (LSHTM), Dr Ben Goldacre (Author, ‘Bad Science’), Jim Welsh (Amnesty International), Peter Burt (Nuclear Information Service), and many more.
