Do you have a regular street stall or are you organising a vigil? Do you write letters to your MP or the newspapers? Want to know more about the issues but don't know where to start looking for information, ideas inspiration? Lots of NfP members have produced leaflets, briefings, posters, postcards, petitions and more. I am collecting together packs of information/briefings etc from members to help everyone get the peace message across. See the following websites for information packs and more links. Or contact the office NfP for "hard copies" of the information packs already received. And if your group has produced something suitable for passing along to other NfP members then please send a copy into the office, in any format.

Propaganda’s war on human rights

States wage war in the name of peace and democracy. Yet war propaganda can violate human rights and undermine the democratic principles it seeks to champion. Despite this it is rarely acknowledged, by the media, governments, or even anti-war campaigners, that war propaganda is illegal under international human rights law. http://www.tiger-tail.org/propaganda.htm
