While in #Berlin @AufstandLastGen are preparing to protest peacefully against the failure of government to stop the use of fossile fuels, protestors in #London joined against the arms exhibition #DSEI. It's not only non-violence that connects these struggles: Military is the biggest institutional source of emissions. It is touching to see people in different places fighting peacefully for change.
@dhyannada Just sang this song in an ecumenical prayer for peace in Ukraine and against the arms exhibition #DSEI and was reminded of your article.
#Cops are already targeting #activists wanting to ‘stop the arms fair’ at #DSEI

New protest laws won’t deter us from resisting one of the world’s largest arms fairs.
The climate of repression is dire. However, it’s nothing compared with the repression people face if they try to take to the streets in the countries that the UK is courting arms deals with. We owe it to these people, and we owe it to ourselves, not to be intimidated.
See you on the streets!

Like so many Londoners and campaigners, I am appalled that the world’s largest arms fair - #DSEI - is taking place in our city.
We'll continue to do everything in our power to prevent it from taking place in our capital again. #StopDSEI
