I didn't realize there was a NATO summit in Wales next month. I will see you there. Hope the weather is good.
NO TO NATO
As Nato member countries, including the UK, prepare for military exercises in the Ukraine next month as part of NATO’s Rapid Trident manoeuvres, the momentum for organised resistance to this year's Nato summit in Newport has grown. All the leaders of the key Western powers will be in Wales for the Nato summit and we need the biggest possible protests to force them to break from their aggressive foreign policy.
A whole week of protest is planned during the week of the summit. Here is an outline of the events called by CND,
Stop the War, No to War: No to Nato and No to Nato Newport.
PROTEST 30 August to 5 September
Saturday 30 August, Mass demonstration through central Newport.
Assembles 1pm at the Civic Centre Car Park and marches around the town Centre ending at Westgate Square for a rally.
