SUMMARY:WILPF UK De-growth workshop
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 1st November 2-5pm at 5 Caledonian Road in London. Come and join our first ideas session to develop our Degrowth / Just Transition campaign. It would be great to see you. This workshop will be to collate initial ideas on what are the key aspects for us of such a broad subject. What do we wish to focus on? What would be our entry points? It would also be an opportunity to see WILPF UK’s new national base.. \nUsing the output from this workshop\, our plan is to organise a full day workshop at the beginning of next year\, hopefully as a hybrid meeting and with more notice to allow planning of travel from further afield. \nIf you are interested in joining us on 1 November or wish to input ideas\, please let Eliza know at ukwilpf.info@gmail.com. We’ll send more detail closer to the date.

SUMMARY:Alternative Remembrance Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:The National Alternative Remembrance Ceremony takes place every year on Remembrance Sunday in Tavistock Square\, London. Following speeches\, those attending observe two minutes’ silence and white poppy wreaths are laid on the Conscientious Objectors’ Commemorative Stone\, in memory of all victims of war\, both civilian and military\, past and present. \nWith speakers including: \n– Sir Mark Rylance – Oscar-winning actor\, director\, playwright\, peace campaigner and PPU member. \n– Rachel Taylor from Every Casualty Counts\, an international charity dedicated to ensuring every life lost in armed conflict is recognised. \n– Hosted by PPU member Kate Smurthwaite – feminist activist\, comedian and star of the News at Katevideo series. \nShortly after the ceremony\, the Movement for the Abolition of War will hold their annual Remembrance Lecture nearby at Hamilton House at 3pm\, with Lord John Alderdice speaking on ‘Ending Wars’.

SUMMARY:International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations General Assembly has designated November 25as the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

SUMMARY:WILPF Webinar: Abya Yala in the Crosshairs - Conversations on Anti-Militarism in the Region
DESCRIPTION:Abya Yala has become a central territory in the U.S. war geopolitics. Under narratives like the “war on drugs” and “hemispheric security\,” militarisation and territorial control continue to expand\, reinforced by right-wing governments aligned with U.S. militarist policies. \nThis increasingly aggressive deployment turns security into a tool of social control\, justifying surveillance\, criminalisation of movements\, and repression against those defending their territories. \nIn this webinar\, we will explore how this doctrine operates in Colombia\, Argentina\, Mexico\, and Brazil\, and collectively reflect on strategies to confront the advance of militarism. \nDate & Time: Nov 25 | 18:00 Rio de Janeiro\, 16:00 Bogotá\, 15:00 Mexico City\nLanguage: Spanish with interpretation into Portuguese and English \nRegister here
