U-Turn for Peace: Mass Civil Disobedience Outside the Labour Party Conference in

U-Turn for Peace | 07.09.2007 11:38 | Anti-militarism | Iraq | Terror War | South Coast

Join Maya Evans and John Catt for mass civil disobedience in Bournemouth,
outside the Labour Party Conference, on Sunday 23 September.

Meet 1pm at THE BANDSTAND, in the Lower Gardens, Bournemouth, between the
PIER and "THE SQUARE" (see  http://tinyurl.com/2rj3ed for the location of the
Lower Gardens).

Over 100 peace activists from around the UK have pledged to take part in
nonviolent civil disobedience outside this year's Labour Party Conference in
Bournemouth (see  http://tinyurl.com/2n6uf2).

On Sunday 23 September 2007 – the opening day of Brown’s first Party
Conference as Labour leader – these pledgers will join Maya Evans and John
Catt for a two-part action outside the Conference organised by JNV, the
London Catholic Worker and Voices UK:

* first, a photo call inside the anti-protest zone around the Conference
centre, wearing specially-made anti-war t-shirts modelled on the U-Turn for
Peace "road sign" above (probably a non-arrestable action).

* second, for those willing to risk arrest, a sit-down protest in the road
leading to the Conference Centre.

They will be there demanding that Gordon Brown turn his foreign policy
around, away from war and towards peace: ending British complicity with
torture, stopping Trident renewal, withdrawing troops from Iraq and
Afghanistan, and ending arms sales to repressive regimes. Will you?
