JOIN Protest Against SDSC -UK | Tue 3- Wed 4 February | 8am - 5pm
In February the Special Defence and Security Convention (SDSC-UK) will be coming to the NEC near Birmingham, having left Telford following two years of protest there.
The arms trade needs to be resisted everywhere, so when it tries to set up shop in West Midlands we are coming together to say “No”. At the same time we say “Yes” to community and to peace. Read more about SDSC and why we oppose it.
Our two days of action against this arms fair aim to bring what is in hiding into visibility. Tues 3rd will be focussed on engaging members of the public attending other activities at the NEC.
Alongside leafleting and speeches, Weds 4th will include creative and reflective responses to the arms trade:
music,
poetry,
street theatre from the Red Rebels,
the peace dove puppet.
a silent vigil led by Quakers.
Join when you can over the two days, but it will be particularly helpful to have people to join 8-11am as people arrive and 2-5pm as people leave.
Food and toilets are available in the NEC cafes, which are all open to the public.
The easiest way to arrive at the NEC is via Birmingham International rail station. We hope to have stewards to direct people to the site of our protest, and groups may travel together from Birmingham New St.
