Newcastle Stop the War Public Meeting

Limited free tickets available to book.

Israel is continuing its war crimes in Gaza and Lebanon. Trump is threatening more war with Iran and has ramped up his rhetoric against Cuba.

At home the Ministry of Defence is drawing up plans for the ‘mass mobilisation’ of civilian volunteers, hyping up the threat of a ‘full blown war’.

Across Europe the political and military elites are saying we will have to sacrifice public services and pay more for the continent’s ‘defence’. Their support for warfare over welfare is clear.

The need for a strong international movement demanding welfare not warfare and wages not weapons is urgent. The upcoming International Conference Against War could not be more timely.

So join us for this important public meeting in Newcastle on Thursday 11 June, 6.30pm at the Tyneside Irish Centre (NE1 4SG) to discuss the relentless drive to war and the growing international movement against it.
