In February 12th, the Peace Not War Music and Arts Festival kicks off in London.
A year on from the Massive worldwide Peace demonstrations, this 'festival' really could be something for the UK Peace movement. It is a gathering for the whole spectrum of people who came out on the streets last year.
A year on from the Massive worldwide Peace demonstrations, this 'festival' really could be something for the UK Peace movement. It is a gathering for the whole spectrum of people who came out on the streets last year.
The diversity of Music, Speakers, Art, Films and Visuals demonstrates what a positive and dynamic movement we are. This event will celebrate and confirm the rich culture of the Peace movement while providing it with much needed funds.
100% of the profits will be plowed back into the Peace movement.
The 1st Peace Not War CD has already raised £45,000 for UK Peace groups. The money raised by this event will be used to produce the next wave of Peace Not War CDs - using tracks already contributed by over 300 artists. These CDs will be donated to Peace groups who can use the proceeds to further their work.
Through this process, the event hopes to generate £100,000 for UK Peace groups.
Groups who have already received money include:
- Iraqi Children's Fund
- Voices in the Wilderness
- A.R.R.O.W. (Active Resistance to the Roots of War)
- Campaign Against Arms Trade
- Campaign for the Accountability of American Bases
- Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (local & national)
- Globalise Resistance
- Grassroots Opposition to War
- Movement for the Abolition of War
- Network for Peace
- Stop the War Coalition (national & local)
- Women in Black
The Peace Not War CD and festival are as grass roots as it gets - produced and funded by 2 people out of their East London living room, with help from a handful of volunteers and friends. With no record label and no promotional budget, the word is being spread by word-of-mouth, through peace groups, DJs and artists, emails and through this post which, like everything else has been compiled by volunteers.
PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD.
