International Day of Action against Depleted Uranium
Target Brimar | 05.11.2009 10:37 | Anti-militarism
Target Brimar and the Campaign Against Depleted Uranium will be demonstrating outside Brimar's factory near Manchester on Friday 6th November.
Brimar's displays are used in many of the weapons systems used to fire
depleted uranium weapons, a devastating radioactive weapon used in Iraq,
Afghanistan and elsewhere. For more info on DU weapons see
www.cadu.org.uk
Together with CADU in Manchester, Target Brimar will take part in the
International Day of Action this Friday. This year, the demo is in memory
of a strident anti-DU campaigner, and the idea is to take placards written
in his style. See http://www.cadu.org.uk/topcrumps.htm
We will be there to greet the Brimar workers on their way to work, meet by
7.30am at Brimar's factory in Chadderton (see below for directions), and
also on their way home, meet by 3.30pm at the same location.
Where is Brimar?
Brimar’s head office and factory are on Greenside, off Greengate Way
Chadderton, Oldham – just outside the M60 ring road.
See Brimar on Google Maps.
