Dear friend,
This January, CAAT will again take the UK government to court [1] to demand
an end to the UK complicity in the war in Yemen. Over the next couple of
months there will be many opportunities to support our legal challenge and
stand in solidarity with the people of Yemen.
As we launch the Solidarity With Yemen campaign [2], we invite you to join
our national day of action on SATURDAY 3RD DECEMBER 2022. Take action in
your local community and with your friends and family to challenge the UK
government's continued arms sales to the Saudi-led coalition for use in
Yemen.
The war in Yemen has been raging for almost eight years. It has led to the
deaths of over 370,000 people through direct and indirect causes, according
to the UN, with the UK supplying over £23 billion worth of arms to Saudi
Arabia since the conflict began. For further information about the
conflict, check out the campaigns pack on our website. [2]
The fighter jets, bombs, missiles and other equipment used in this conflict
could be manufactured in a town or city near you - check out our
interactive map that displays manufacturing sites across the UK.
To support your actions on SATURDAY 3RD DECEMBER 2022 we have also launched
the Solidarity With Yemen Fund [3], which is available for groups of
activists to apply for funding to take creative action wherever they are.
A massive thank you to the thousands of people from across the UK who
signed our open letter to Liz Truss as Foreign Secretary and Prime Minister
over the last year and attended our demonstration in September to hand it
in. You can check out the video now on CAAT's Youtube channel. [4]
We will continue to release details over the next month with more ways to
get involved in this campaign, and please get in touch if you'd like to
reach out to others in your community to organise a solidarity action.
Thank you for your support.
