NEXT FORUM:
When: 2-5pm, Saturday 8 April.
Where: London Action Resource Centre, 62 Fieldgate
Street, Whitechapel, London E1 1ES (nearest tube Aldgate East).
See www.londonarc.org.
Outraged by the ongoing attacks by US-led forces on towns and
cities in Iraq? Angry about the forthcoming deployment of thousands
more UK troops to Afghanistan? Want to take action?
Maybe you have an idea for a creative protest against the routeing
of CIA torture flights through the UK, or would like to meet up
with like-minded folk to plan anti-war street theatre to mark
the 3rd anniversary of the invasion of Iraq? Or perhaps you know
of a corporate war profiteer that needs a spotlight thrown on
it, or want to discuss ways of responding to the latest MoD recruitment
drive (scheduled to begin in January)?
Then the London Anti-war Action Forum could be the place for
you!
THE LONDON ANTI-WAR ACTION FORUM IS:
- a monthly open space
for people who want to organise (and take part in) actions
related to the so-called "war on terror" (eg. the
occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, Guantanamo, Islamophobia
etc...)
- a place for *your* ideas and energies
IT ISN'T:
- a place for in-depth discussion of the latest news from Iraq,
Guantanamo etc... Information and analysis are crucial to all
our work but the Forum's focus will be action.
- an attempt to replicate the important work that's already being
done (newsletters, conferences, weekly street stalls etc...) but
will instead focus on the stuff that's *not* happening.
- another group. Rather,
it's a space where groups and individuals can come together
to talk about and plan actions (forming ad hoc
coalitions where appropriate). In particular the Forum will have
no fixed "membership" or agreed "platform"
and no actions will be organised under the name of the "Anti-war
Action Forum".
