Peace vigil
9 September 2019, London
Come along to this silent vigil held the evening before the September DSEi arms fair at the ExCeL centre in East London. Quaker Peace & Social Witness has been working with a coalition of groups, including Stop the Arms Fair, PAX Christi and Campaign Against the Arms Trade (CAAT) to organise a silent, multi faith candle-lit vigil. This event is open to all ages.
Meeting up
We will gather to attend the silent peace vigil held the evening before the September DSEi arms fair starts. For one week every two years, in East London, arms companies display their weapons to buyers (including human rights abusing regimes) from around the world.
Information for young people attending this event:
There will be Friends House staff and Quakers who campaign for peace at this event.
