Stop the rush to war - Don't bomb Syria


Theresa May has put RAF bombers on standby to start airstrikes on Syria. The stakes are obviously extremely high, but opinion polls suggest public opinion is firmly against military action. Only 22% of respondents in a YouGov poll said they would support airstrikes on Syria. More bombing would prolong the agony of the Syrian people and risk causing a catastrophic war with Russia.


We are urging groups to organise protests. Protests are taking place tomorrow and over the weekend in Sheffield, Nottingham, Norwich, Cardiff, Edinburgh and street stalls in many other places. 


In London we will be protesting this Friday at 5pm at Downing Street when a letter will be handed-in to the Prime Minister urging her to pull back from the brink.

 

We are also planning a second protest on Parliament Square at 5.30pm on Monday, which is when Parliament returns.
