The new government still has not decided what to do with its arms sales department. This month, take urgent action to tell your MP to save millions by closing it down with our simple 1-minute email action below.
Then help get the anti-arms trade message out to your local community in Stop Week, coming up very soon...
Please forward this bulletin to anyone you think would like to be involved in our campaigns.

The new coalition government has asked for the people's views on what cuts should be made. There's one clear candidate: stop spending taxpayers' money helping arms companies market their weapons.
In the lead up to the election you helped us reach candidates in nearly 50% of constituencies to call for the closure of the government's arms trading unit, UKTI DSO. There were some really encouraging responses, but there are many non-responders too.
Now our MPs are elected we need to make sure they all hear our message loud and clear. Please email your MP today using our really easy email tool.
We need to pile on the pressure right now. The government still hasn't said what will happen to UKTI - so please take action now to help them decide!
Take part in CAAT's week of action from 19-27 June! Help us reach as many MPs as possible to convince them that the government department for selling arms has to close!
As well as the email action above, you can write to or meet your MP, and let the local media know their response.
Or, "Gather for Good" in Stop Week and help raise awareness and funds for ending the arms trade.
CAAT's gone through the Conservative-LibDem programme to see what the plans in areas which affect the arms trade. You can read our comments on our website.
We were delighted to be invited to campaign at Rage Against the Machine's free gig in Finsbury Park last week. Read Kirk's blog piece and see our great photos of the day.
CAAT wants to recruit a volunteer to assist the Fundraising Co-ordinator with a variety of fundraising tasks, especially supporting local events. There will be opportunities to learn data maintenance and a website giving system.
Volunteers usually work one day a week in CAAT's Office. We pay travel expenses and provide a vegetarian lunch in a friendly setting. We ask that a volunteer can make at least three months' commitment.
More information, including job description on CAAT's website.
