Protest rally: Hands off Syria, Don't attack Iran!

Sat 28 January 2pm-4pm
Picket at US Embassy: No western intervention in the Middle East

The growing threats against Iran in recent weeks have been backed up with increased sanctions. As we know from Iraq, these are a prelude to war, not an alternative to it. There are signs of covert intervention already in Iran, as there are in Syria. Stop the War opposes all military intervention from the west in the region, for which there is absolutely no justification.

We will be gathering outside the US embassy, Grosvenor Square, London W1 on Saturday 28 January from 2-4pm. Please support it if you can.

If armed Chinese troops were in Texas...

The United States has at least 700 military bases across the globe, possibly more than 1,000. Imagine if China followed the US model and had armed troops in Texas.

Stop the Imperial War this Saturday

This Saturday 27th August, at 2pm, Lambeth Stop the War Coalition will be joining forces wih Central London Stop the War to run an alternative information centre/street stall outside the Imperial War museum - our very own 'Contemporary Imperial War Museum'.

If you're interested in helping please email Grace

While the exhibits inside the museum commemorate the tragedy and sacrifice of past wars, most prominently World War 1 and 2, we need to put it in the forefront of people's minds that the UK is still at war in Afghanistan. This is a deadly, costly, unjust and pointless war, and one that has now lasted nearly as long as the 2 World Wars put together.

The day of action is a chance to raise the profile of the mass assembly on October 8th. We'll be getting people to sign the pledge for the protest and saying enough is enough: the last 10 years of war has to be brought to an end.

We will be there from 2pm. Look out for us by the big cannons near the main entrance. And, if you're thinking of coming, please email Grace so we can look out for you
