Stop War Home | Direct Action Against War

Regular Events

Actions against the war are taking place or being planned across the country. 2003 kicked off with railworkers in Scotland refusing to move ammunition headed for Iraq, the first anti-war industrial action in decades. The night war was declared thousands of people blocked city centres across the world in a massive show of popular opposition to the war. Government ministers can no longer expect to carry out their normal engagements without opposition. While the bombs are dropping there will be no business-as-usual for those responsible.
