Menwith Hill is the biggest US
military spy base in the world
and is central to US military operations, gathering
and relaying military
intelligence. The base won an award for its work in
intercepting
communications and providing strategic information
during the Gulf War. It
will play a critical role in a second war against
Iraq. With both the US and
Britain continuing to threaten war against Iraq and
to use nuclear weapons
in such a war, this protest is to bring women
together again against war and
to celebrate and encourage the contribution that
women make to the peace
movement. The protest is supported by CND and the
Women's TUC Conference.
What you can do: Encourage woman friends and family
to attend If possible,
organise transport up to Menwith Hill. If you are a
member of a women's
group, a trade or student union, get it to support
and publicise the action
