This event is in response to the BDS National Committee’s call for a two way arms embargo against Israel, and the renewed call in summer 2014 from Gaza

In 2014,  UK made weaponry was once again used by Israel in a devastating assault on Gaza. Join us for a one-day event and share ideas, skills and opportunities for action to Stop Arming Israel. From targeting arms companies, building local campaigns, to putting pressure on the government to introduce a two-way military embargo, there are plenty of ways to get involved.

Join us for a one-day event to share ideas, skills and opportunities for action. We’ll be working together with Boycott Israel Network, Campaign Against Arms Trade, War on Want, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, BDS National Committee, Manchester PSC, Manchester CND and Manchester Palestine Action to bring together a range of groups working on the issues, and to build links between our movements.
