Dear friend,

2020 has been a year like no other, but together we’ve still had significant success in our campaigning against the arms trade:  
1) We launched a new legal challenge to stop the sale of UK weapons to the Saudi-led coalition for use in the war in Yemen.

2) Arms trade campaigners showed incredible resilience and creativity in adapting their activism during the pandemic, still managing to disrupt a number of arms fairs around the country. 

3) We revealed that the UK had licensed at least £34 million worth of tear gas sales to some of the world’s most abusive regimes and exposed how the UK College of Policing trained both the Nigerian and Hong Kong Police, who have been cracking down on peaceful protesters, as recently as 2019. 

4) CAAT’s work featured in over 1,100 press articles this year including in the Daily Mirror, Guardian, Daily Mail and Daily Express. A piece in the Observer was instrumental in persuading broadcaster Clare Balding not to attend or speak at an annual gala dinner hosted by the arms industry. 

5) We’ve expanded our team and our work, including hiring our first-ever Scotland Coordinator to strengthen and support our work in Scotland. 

You can find out more about these successes and everything else we achieved together this year in our 2020 round-up. 

None of this would be possible without your support. If you don’t already, and you are in a position to, will you set up a regular donation to support our campaigning in 2021? [link removed]

Already have a regular donation to CAAT set up? Thank you for your support! We're working on exciting upgrades to our database that will go live early next year, but until then we have a slight lag in our data processing which means you may have received this message even if you already make a regular donation to us — apologies if that's the case. We're working hard to have this all sorted early in the New Year. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

In solidarity,

Jayde
Campaign Against Arms Trade

P.S. Seasons greetings and Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to everyone celebrating!
