This September, one of the world’s biggest arms fairs, DSEI, comes to London’s ExCel centre. From 15-18 September, more than 1000 companies & 30,000 attendees will showcase their weapons and make deadly deals with buyers from across the world, including those from countries with serious human rights problems. Israel & its arms companies have a ‘National Pavilion’ and boast about their ‘field tested’ weapons systems: used to devastate and destroy Palestinian families and communities.
Join groups & campaigners from Stop The Arms Fair coalition for the Palestine Day of Action on Monday 7th September 2015. Together we will transform the space outside ExCel into a place for hope & freedom to challenge the Israeli & international arms companies’ pursuit of colonialism & death for profit. Bring creativity, energy, banners, flags & drums!
We will meet at the East end of the Excel Centre: (Prince Regent DLR station)
September 7th will kick off a week of action in the run up to the arms fair, to make it as difficult as possible for DSEI to go ahead. Exhibition equipment and military hardware will be rolling (or sailing) into ExCel – let’s stop it getting to its destination! On 12th Sept there will also be a big day of action on the weekend before the arms fair begins, to stop the arms dealers going about their deadly business.
