Thanks to everyone who came out for the 'Don't attack Iran, No to the arms trade' demo on the 4th. For our report of the day see 
http://smashedo.org.uk/854 .
You can find reports from the last few weeks' summer of resistance events on the web-site, including surprise demos, an art demo and workshops at the lovely Palestine Place. We have also received an enorsement of the campaign for the Israeli Group 'Boycott from Within'. See http://smashedo.org.uk/873
Here are the events coming up next week:
Monday 11th, 1pm: The Brighton and Hove Palestine Solidarity Campaign are doing a 'Naming the Dead' event outside EDO where they will read out the names of the victims of Israeli air strikes. Come along to help reading the names or to support.
Tuesday 12th, all day. Phone and twitter blockade of EDO. The one last month was a real success so we're having another one! You can participate from wherever you are. Call EDO on +44 (0) 1273810500 and tweet EDO's parent company @ITTExelis with questions and comments about their trade. There are examples of sample tweets you can copy and past from the last time at the bottom of this email or -even better- come up with some new ones. Please hashtag your tweets #SmashEDO
Wednesday 13th, 3pm. 'Bikes not Bombs' critical mass from the Level and to EDO. The last time was a bit wet so we're hoping for better weather this time around.
Wednesday 13th, 6.30. After the critical mass, come along to an affinity group direct action training open session to prepare you for action. At the Cowley Club, 12 London Road, Brighton.
We'll send out other upcoming event on a weekly basis, or they can all be found on the web-site, but there are a few special ones we want you all down for:
July 15th: We'll host a first gathering to plan resitance to the G8 which will be held in the UK next year.
July 16th: Mass action against EDO! Put the date in your diary now.
Sample tweeets for the twitter blockade on Tuesday. Thanks to everyone who tweeted these last time (and sorry of we've nicked your tweets for the samples!). Please hashtag your tweets #SmashEDO
