Dissent Disturb Disrupt - day of action against militarism

    Friday 19th of September

     

    Let´s take action. Let´s Dissent, Disturb and Disrupt!

    The European Peace Action Forum will co-ordinate nonviolent direct actions against arms companies in the south of Sweden. Both legal and civil disobedient actions will take place during the day. Our aim is to disturb the war machinery as much as possible.

    We are encouraging people to come with an affinity group and a plan for their action. We will provide some basic support and facilities for sharing the story of your action.
    The affinity groups should have their own support persons and media persons to send the story to the group's national/local media. There will be a media center at the EPA Forum for you to use during the Action day. There will be a legal team that keeps track of the people getting arrested.

    There will be an action outside Aimpoint at 11 am which is open to everyone. Those
    who wish to take action together but don't have an affinity group and a specific plan are welcome to join this action. Bring things to make noise with!

    How to get there: The address of Aimpoint is Jägershillsgatan 15. You can catch the bus no 1 (towards Kristineberg) from Södervärn or Triangeln. Get off at Ögårdsparken. With bus it takes about 7 minutes, by foot 40-50 minutes.

    Action training and workshops about media and legal issues will be provided Thursday, September 18th, 17.00 at Ungdomens hus, Norra Skolgatan 10 (where the EPA Forum is)
