Raise Your Knitting High

Words & Music: John Tams
New words : Jane Lewis
1. Bound together through the land
Needles click­ing in our hands
Peace­ful knit­ters make a stand
Craft­i­ness will win the day(Chorus)
Raise your knit­ting high,
Stitch by stitch and row by row
Plain and purl shall never die,
Raise your knit­ting high2. Those who knit in face of strife
Those who purl for liberty
Crochet for a bet­ter life
Pink to keep the future free(Chorus)

3. Though the struggle brings us pain
Though the struggle brings us tears
Ours will be the final gain
We will hear the vic­tory cheers

(Chorus)

Wool Against Weapons

Ken Loach

“Spending £100 billion on replacing Trident is a catastrophic folly. I’m sure I am one of many who support the those, like Action-AWE, who campaign actively and imaginatively against it”

– Ken Loach

John Hurt

".....the government has pledged to rebuild a new generation of British nuclear weapons at enormous cost and at a time when social services budgets including those for health and education are being drastically cut. Having nuclear weapons doesn't make us safer, it just brings the possibility of nuclear conflict ever closer. We need to protect this planet not put it at even more risk of destruction. We all have a voice so please use yours and join me in supporting ACTION AWE." John Hurt
