Britain's War Economy: Why We Need an Alternative

Join us for an enlightening conference based on CND’s latest Alternative Defence Review! This event will focus on the militarization's impacts on the Northwest and foster concrete strategies for implementing the TUC motion in workplaces and communities. Together, we will explore crucial questions such as:

• What are the costs and consequences of escalating military spending?
• How can we halt the race towards war?
• How do we counter the government's claims that military investment benefits the country?
• How should trade unions and communities respond?
• What steps can we take to move from war production to diversified defense strategies?

The conference will feature a distinguished panel, including:

• Kate Hudson - Vice-President of CND
• Alex Gordon - National Officer, Stop the War Coalition, and former President of the RMT union

Additionally, hear from peace advocates from Germany and Belgium.

The main focus is on empowering YOU to enact change! Engage in breakout sessions that will cover:

• Initiating discussions in workplaces and neighborhoods
• Connecting the concerns of service sector workers with military manufacturing issues
• Leveraging our roles in education, science, and innovation to promote peace and development
• Building new peace networks that unite industries, local government, and academic institutions
