Stop the War: Collected Protests Information
“I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments.
Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower

There is a nonviolent civil disobedience component! A mass sit down after the march is one of the objectives – The destination may well be subject to change depending on how long it takes the big march to clear Piccadilly so please go to Green Park at 5pm rather than heading for Piccadilly on your own!

London groups should organise Valentine’s Day events for the afternoon/evening of Friday 14 Feb and organise overnight accomodation (community centres, mosques, church halls or front rooms) for people wishing to come down on the Friday.
