About this event

With the DSEI arms fair (https://caat.org.uk/challenges/arms-fairs/dsei/) returning to London in September, London Campaign Against Arms Trade have put on this walking tour to introduce people to some of the arms companies in our midst, companies which will display their deadly wares at the fair.

DSEI, which stands for the Defence & Security Equipment International, is a four day trade fair where countries with dubious human rights records will shop for the latest weapons and hobnob with government officials.

We will be visiting the offices of some of the major arms companies who will be exhibiting at the fair including BAE Systems, Leonardo, and others.

Come along to find out more about these heinous companies, join with other campaigners, and get inspired to take action against the fair.

Organized by

Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT)

Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) is a UK-based organisation working to end the international arms trade.

The arms business has a devastating impact on human rights and security, and damages economic development. Large scale military procurement and arms exports only reinforce a militaristic approach to international problems.

CAAT considers that security needs to be seen in much broader terms that are not dominated by military and arms company interests. A wider security policy would have the opportunity to reallocate resources according to actual threats and benefits, including addressing major causes of insecurity such as inequality and climate change.

CAAT values the diversity of opinion amongst its supporters and is committed to nonviolence in all its work.
