Join the Peace March - Stop the Weapons Expo

Coming soon to Palmy! The Weapons Expo is a trade fair for major weapons companies, including Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, Thales and Northrup Grumman. These companies come together at the Expo each year to carry out business deals that fuel a global war machine that causes death and destruction in countries across the world. War is not just another business and no-one should profit from it. Profiting from war and suffering is immoral. The global spend on weapons and war in 2017 was $ US 1.7 trillion. That is $230 for every person in the world. What would you do with your whanau's collective $230?

The arms trade as a whole needs to be tackled, and not just the worst excesses of it. It serves to aggravate global instability and misery and we should work to dismantle the industry wherever we find it.

If you are coming from out of town please register - it really helps us plan.
