Wales will see the biggest demonstrations in a generation against war, austerity & global inequality as 60 world leaders come to Celtic Manor for the NATO summit on 4th - 5th September 2014 to plan their war on the world. Previous summits in Chicago and Strassbourg have seen tens of thousands demonstrate for peace, jobs and justice.

In order to build the biggest possible opposition there will be an organising meeting to bring together all the various people who oppose the summit for many many reasons. As well as concerned local residents, and activists from around the region there will be large number of people who will be travelling from further afield especially to attend this meeting.

2. Progress on mobilisation statement.

3. Funding

4. Co-ordinating committees – geographic and activity based

5. A possible Europe-wide mobilisation meeting in June

6. Publicity

7. Letter to ask people to sign demonstrating broad opposition
