Smash EDO: Thank you, Maydayers!

Smash EDO | 14.05.2009 20:25 | Smash EDO | Anti-militarism | Iraq | Palestine | South Coast

A Smashing update about what to do next.

Smash EDO's Mayday! Mayday! event was the biggest yet for the campaign with around 2000 people attending. Thanks for showing up and making the day great! It could not have been done without you. There is a report of the day on  http://www.smashedo.org.uk/news.htm where you can also find some links to other news coverage.

Now that Mayday is over it is important that the momentum continues. Get stuck in!

Coming up:

The first trial arising out of last year's Carnival Against the Arms Trade starts on Monday the 18th of May and is scheduled to last for eight days. Please come and show support at Brighton Magistrate's Court. from 10am.

The weekly noise demos are continuing as usual every Wednesday between 4-6 outside EDO on Home Farm Road (just behind Moulsecoomb station). The noise demos really are the backbone of the campaign and could do with some more regular support so drop by if you can!

Update:

Good news! During a hearing last Friday one of the EDO decommissioners, Robert Alford, was granted bail which means that he will be out of prison soon. Elijah Smith remains on remand and has been transferred back to Lewes prison from Bristol. Please send letters of support to

Elijah Smith VP7551, HMP Lewes, 1 Brighton Road, Lewes, Sussex BN7 1EA
