21-07-2011 15:19

Smash EDO, Brighton's long running anti militarist campaign against weapons
manufacturer EDO/ITT, are planning a 'summer of resistance' against the factory in

In order to engage people to take action against EDO, we are planning a tour across the country in Winter 2011 (from late October/November). We were wondering if you or any other group you are in contact with might be interested in providing a venue where we could come and give a talk in your area?
