Take action against Arms Fairs

CAAT supporters make their point at Farnborough 2004

There are many ways in which you can help in the campaign to stop arms fairs - from writing letters to taking part in non-violent direct action. Here are a few ideas.

Write a letter

Spread the word about the negative impact of arms fairs to make it harder for decision-makers to support them. You might want to write to your local newspaper or MP, using some of the main arguments which we think are important.

Take local action

A range of other groups are taking action to try to stop arms fairs.

East London Against the Arms Fair (ELAAF) ELAAF meets every second Monday of each month. All opposed to Arms Fairs welcome - help campaign against the return of the DSEi arms fair in 2009. For more info contact ELAAF at ELAAF(AT)hotmail.co.uk or CIU, Durning Hall, Earlham Grove, London E7 9AB, or call 020 7474 5257.

Put pressure on Clarion Events-new owner of DSEi arms fair

Reed Elsevier's decision to dispose of DSEi showed that DSEi is a liability and that reputable businesses don't deal with the arms trade. We now have to make the public distaste for arms fairs tangible to the new owners, Clarion Events.

Email Clarion Event's Chief Executive to let him know your concerns about their new area of activity.
