Dismantle the war machine: SmashEDO In Oxford, 24th March

Smashy Dough | 18.03.2008 10:37 | Anti-militarism | Oxford

Make a space in your busy schedules for the evening of 24th March, as activists from Brighton’s anti-arms trade campaign, Smash EDO, are coming to Oxford for a soiree of film and discussion.

The group’s tenacious drive to make life difficult for the weapons manufacturers, EDO MBM, has involved the repeated use of direct action and noise demos, and has been met with police repression and a (failed) attempt by the company to impose a High Court injunction on the activists.

Smash EDO will be showing ‘On the Verge’ - a new film about their campaign, followed by a talk and discussion on building resistance to the company. The event will take place in the bar at the East Oxford Community Centre, Princes Street, at 7pm on 24th March. No-one will be turned away for lack of cash but donations are more than welcome. Smash EDO’s determination has been seriously inspiring - this is well-worth
attending.

The evening should be of interest to all social justice activists who are challenging the “but I’m only doing my job” mentality, have been bored to tears by petty police tactics, and who’ve had valuable time and energy sapped by that discredited loser of a lawyer, Timothy Lawson-Cruttendon.

Come along for more info on how we can support the campaign, and adopt tactics for our own…
