Dear friend

Protest: 📍 International Convention Centre, Celtic Manor, Newport ⏰ 8AM Thursday 📅 3 September

Campaigners including CND Cymru; Newport PSC; Mid Wales Against Arms; Cardiff Stop the War; Black Lives Matter Cardiff and Vale; Cardiff4Sudan will be saying no to the arms fair taking place in Newport this coming week.

They say:

"STOP THE ARMS FAIR. TELL THE WELSH GOVERNMENT TO ACT. ✋

On 3–4 September, the ‘Defence Security Resilience Cymru Summit’ will take place at the International Convention Centre at Celtic Manor in Newport.

Welsh public money is being used to co-organise an event bringing together arms companies and the military industry. Among those involved is General Dynamics, a major arms company connected to Israel’s military supply chain. BAE Systems, another major arms manufacturer supplying Israel, will also be exhibiting.

The Welsh Government cannot claim neutrality while public money helps facilitate an arms fair involving companies profiting from the global arms trade.

We are calling on the Welsh Government to cancel the event and end its support for the arms trade.

JOIN THE PROTEST."

A map and address details can be found on the [CAAT Event page]([link removed] where we will add any additional information as we get it. Flyer below!

The area has a long history of chasing out arms fairs, including DPRTE out of Cardiff in 2019. Please join these amazing campaigners in saying no to Welsh Government support for the arms trade!
