More details
I am campaigning to shut down DESO (Defence Export Services Organisation). DESO is a government agency that identifies potential opportunities for arms sales, then works with the companies and other elements of government to push for deals.

Join me and Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) for a peaceful protest outside DESO's annual conference, at 11am on 7 March outside the Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre in Central London (Broad Sanctuary, London SW1P 3EE).

Comments on this pledge

• This is an excellent idea. Unfortunatley I can't make that week but would love to take part in future. Please let me know if you do something again in the future or change the date.

• Hi Kevin,
  
  shame you can't make it to the protest but it's great to have your support on this.
  
  Unless DESO changes the date of its' annual conference (which is very unlikely) the protest will go ahead on 7 March.
  
  To keep up to date with the Shut DESO campaign and other Campaign against Arms Trade (CAAT) activity you could sign up to our monthly e-mail bulletin:

  If you are based in London maybe you would like to get campaigning and join our London CAAT group. The next meeting is this Monday 12 February. http://www.caat.org.uk/events/diary.php contact: london(AT)caat.org.uk
  
  Hope to see you in future.
  Thanks for your support,
  Sara
