Dear friend,

This January, CAAT will again take the UK government to court 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, 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.

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, 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.

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.
