Dear friends,

What an incredible week of action to stop 'DSEI', the Defence and
Security Equipment International arms fair in London!

Hundreds of activists travelled from across the UK and beyond to
create seven days of bold and creative actions to disrupt the set
up of the event.

At the arms fair, the UK government helps facilitate arms sales to buyers from around the world. But, against this horror, there was hope in so many people coming together in determined resistance

Each day centred on a different theme or struggle connected with
the arms trade - including climate change, fuelled by the carbon
emissions of war; and borders, increasingly militarised by the
same arms companies fuelling war and oppression. The week was
made possible with the vast support of hundreds of volunteers and
grassroots groups.

And the resistance is growing. This week, the Mayor of London
Sadiq Khan spoke out

"appalled" that DSEI happens in London, and committed to do
"everything in our power to prevent it from taking place in our
capital again."

The arms fair is nearly over, but opposition to the arms trade
carries on year round. Our campaigns, research, lobbying, and
support for local groups are only possible because of the
donations of supporters like you. A regular donation of £5 per
month by direct debit

would help us keep up the pressure on government to make sure
that DSEI is not welcomed back to London in 2021.

Thank you for everything you do.

In solidarity,
