The SDSC Arms Fair is taking place in Telford in November. In witness against this event we're organising a pilgrimage for Peace.

Could you be a walking pilgrim?
Or offer hospitality?

Prayer, Solidarity and Support to all those facing deportation.

And all those resisting.

“Be sure to welcome strangers into your home. By doing this, some have welcomed angels without knowing it.”

[Stop Deportations @StpDeportations]

This is what solidarity looks like ✊🏾People will take action and resist this Government’s fascist & racist border regime.

But they need your support URGENTLY. The numbers of police are increasing rapidly, to likely arrest activists & enable immigration enforcement #StopRwanda

[Peace Pledge Union @PPUtoday]

Outside the #DSEI arms fair, we've heard powerful and moving messages from Yemeni peace activists and from the Afghan Peace Volunteers. #StopDSEI #StopArmingSaudi #Afghanistan

[Put Down The Sword @PutDownTheSword]

As more have arrived to block the road, Put Down the Sword blockade - Jo, Alison & Nina - are now drying out in a cafe after a long & successful block!

Weaponry continues to be sold at the #DSEI2021 arms fair, but the mosaic of resistance is building.

#StopDSEI #StopTheArmsFair

[Quaker Roots: resisting the arms trade @Quakers_RoR]

We're at the entrance to the Excel Centre, making sure delegates attending #DSEI know that wherever they do business, that's where war starts.

The deals done at DSEI will be killing and maiming around the world for years to come.

[Peace Pledge Union @PPUtoday]

More people now arriving to resist the #DSEI arms fair despite heavy rain. #StopDSEI

Lulu from All Africa Women's Group now speaking outside the #DSEI arms fair, challenging the evils of the arms trade and related war and oppression. #StopDSEI

[Quaker Roots: resisting the arms trade @Quakers_RoR]

As well as holding space at the main entrance, Quaker Roots activists have been blocking the entrances to DSEI from the DLR stations.
