Blockade Aldermaston - 12 February

Block the Builders are calling for a special effort for this last announced blockade before MPs vote in mid-March on Trident replacement
Previoulsy on Block the Builders...
BtB call out: 26 January 2007
Join the Fantastic February Blockade at AWE Aldermaston
12 February 2007 - From 7 am at Tadley gate
Meet up the night before for conspiracy and practice
Parliament will vote on Trident replacement within weeks. The government are proposing a long term policy in favour of new nuclear weapons and against disarmament. Now is the time to show your opposition to British weapons of mass destruction in a practical and visible way.
If Parliament vote to replace Trident in March it will be an uphill struggle for decades to come, so it is vital that we exert pressure now to influence the debate. This means not just taking action, but also letting people know - local groups, local media and - thoug hit may be counter-intuitive to many - your local MPs (as they are the ones who will be voting, its a tactical move).
At Aldermaston new facilities to develop the replacement for Trident are already being built. Block the Builders are calling for all building work to stop until a decision is made about the future of Britain's nuclear weapons.
Previously...
In November 400 people descended on Aldermaston to oppose Trident replacement and halt the construction of new facilities. Nuclear war work was disrupted for several hours but the large numbers involved meant that only one person was arrested. The more people we have the lower the risks are.
The road outside Aldermaston was closed by police for two hours in December during a blockade by a dozen people using a concrete-filled wheelie bin (see composite) and a variety of lock-ons. And a successful surprise action this week by Scottish activists saw construction traffic blocked for four hours and concrete lorries arriving to build the new facilities were turned away.
Join the blockade on Monday 12 February.
Block the Builders are calling for a special effort during this crucial time. Non-arrestables and supporters are needed. We are encouraging others to "be prepared". Bring plans, equipment and enthusiasm. Bring your friends!
Accommodation available the night before, legal support team on the day.
