On Saturday 8th July, 10 school students from around Liverpool met in a city center park, to picnic for peace! The picnic, which was organised by newly set-up Liverpool School Students Against War (SSAW), began at 1pm and was based around the slogan "Hands up for Peace".

The young people, aged between 13 and 16 painted a banner, listened to music and talked while picnicing. Amongst the discussion was how school students could contribute to the year long blockade of Faslane and the "Time to go" demonstration at the Labour Party conference.
A member of Liverpool SSAW, said after the picnic, "Today has gone very well, we have had 5 new members join today, which is a great achievement."
Following the peace picnic, Liverpool School Students Against War have organised a meeting. This will be held in the Egg Cafe, Newington, off Bold Street, on Monday 24th July, at 6.30pm.
