CAAT Local Campaigning

There are local CAAT groups in many areas around the UK. They organise protests and meetings, conduct research on local arms companies, lobby their MPs and help promote CAAT's main campaigns. Many are trying to get their local council or university to stop investing in the arms trade. Details of local groups can be found in this section of the website.

CAAT local contacts do what they can to raise the profile of CAAT, often in areas where there isn't an active local group. Local contacts around the country take on some of the following things:

Writing to and meeting with local MPs
Setting up a local group or organising a public meeting
Running a stall in the local High Street
Putting up information on church or community centre notice boards
Organising vigils and protests at local offices or factories connected with the arms trade
Making links with other related local campaign groups
Fundraising for CAAT

We are always on the look-out for people to be CAAT local contacts in areas we haven't already got covered. This doesn't mean you would suddenly have to do loads of work - at the least it could just be disseminating CAAT materials and news locally. If you are interested in being a local contact, or would like to find out more, call the CAAT office or email enquiries@caat.org.uk.
