7th - 8th AUGUST 2005: REMEMBER, RESIST AND BLOCKADE AT ALDERMASTON
This year it is 60 years since the first nuclear bombs were dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This year is also the year when the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Aldermaston has started building work on the new developments which will enable Britain to develop and manufacture what is believed to be the next generation of nuclear weapons. Come and join our resistance against these developments. Come and remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Come and block the builders who are making the manufacturing of weapons of mass destruction possible today.
> SUNDAY 7 AUGUST:
> ** Tours of the base will happen throughout the afternoon
>
> ** 14.00 - 16.00: The nonviolent direct action campaign Block the Builders will have a meeting for all pledgers. The pledge is an important aspect of Block the Builders as it serves as a mobilisation tool for the campaign. Pledges can be for "arrestable" or supporting roles. The meeting will review the aims of the campaign, what we have done so far and how we go on from here.
