In March 2015, Action AWE are organising a month of nonviolent action at Aldermaston and Burghfield Atomic Weapons Establishments, where Britain builds and…
On Monday 14th April, as part of GDAMS – the Global Day of Action on Military Spending – Action AWE were out in sunny Reading. Eight of us ran a ‘People’s Budget’ game, asking members of the public how they would move the money being wasted on Trident, and handed out leaflets.
