Wednesday 10th September, 7:30 p.m.
Wood Green Social Club, 3 Stuart Crescent, N22 5NJ (off the High Rd, near Wood Green tube)
In the build up to the first world war and
throughout the war years there
were
strikes and industrial disputes, anti-war campaigns, conscientious
objections
and mutinies. These are the stories of resistance to the war
that
the official commemorations will not tell you.
What
can we learn from those inspirational struggles which might help us
to
oppose and prevent the obscene wars for profit and power throughout the
world
which governments and military blocs are continuing to wage 100
years
after the so-called 'war to end all wars'?
Speakers:
Nick
Heath (Anarchist Federation) "Resistance to World War One"
Jennifer
Bell (Hornsey Historical Society / Haringey First World War Peace
Forum)
"We will not fight! - Conscientious objectors in North London"
PLUS:
Discussion on all aspects of local (NE London) resistance to the war
as
well as the wider national and international context.
