Leeds Peaceniks is a group of people who have come together over the last year and a half to plan actions against war and militarism. Our inspiration is drawn from many sources with people from differing activist traditions, ranging from Anarchist to Christian. What we share is a commitment to creative forms of protest and to participating in or supporting nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience.
We welcome new people who share our aims.
