Pledge events
In London these have included a public
signing and a procession on 4 July from Downing Street
to the US Embassy - Independence
from America!
Many other events and training days have taken place around
the country - see the Pledge newsletter. Please let us know
about any Pledge-related actions
that you're organising so that we can help publicise them.
The Pledge is dependent upon your taking the initiative
if it is to be a success.

War and Voices in

a die-in or sit-down at the war memorial or a shopping area,
do a banner hang from a prominent building, occupy an MP's
office, blockade a base, invade a recruiting office, lock-on
to, or pour blood at, entrances to any of the above!
Fake blood receipe here soon.
