On Saturday 20 June, Stop the War is hosting a crucial international anti-war conference in London

Hundreds of activists from across Europe and beyond will be descending on London on 20 June for a historic conference to build resistance to the accelerating drive to war.

European governments are ramping up arms spending and cutting welfare. Societies are becoming more and more militarised as government after government introduces conscription.

In Britain, former generals are being wheeled out to lie about the dangers posed by Russia and China and to complain about military underspend and overgenerous welfare.

The amazing conference line-up includes Genoa dockers who have blocked military exports to Israel, German students leading school strikes against conscription, MPs from Podemos in Spain, the German Left Party, La France Insoumise and the Belgian Workers’ Party, as well as leading trade unionists from across the continent, Codepink’s Medea Benjamin from the US and Mustafa Barghouti from Palestine.

Twelve national unions have backed the conference, along with hosts of other organisations and union branches. Recently announced national speakers include Eddie Dempsey, Andrew Feinsten and Jo Grady. 

The aims are simple: to analyse the dangerous situation and coordinate action to roll back the tide of militarism that threatens to engulf us.

Don’t miss this opportunity. Book now and spread the word in the movement, in your trade union and at work.
