CAAT National Gathering
9.45am-4.30pm, Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London, WC1R 4RL (Nearest tube: Holborn)
Hear from comedian and activist Mark Thomas at CAAT’s National Gathering. The new government brazenly claims there is "no embarrassment" in pushing arms exports. But resistance to the arms trade is multiplying. With the world’s largest arms fair coming up in the UK in 2011, this Gathering will be crucial for making links, sharing ideas and hatching plans to shut the arms profiteers down.
Book now and make sure you get a space at your preferred workshops!
