🕊️ Rethinking Defence: An Online Meeting on the Alternative Defence Review
Hosted by the Scottish Trade Union Peace Network
Hosted by the Scottish Trade Union Peace Network
📅 Wednesday, June 18th
🕖 7:00 PM (via Zoom)
The Scottish Trade Union Peace Network invites trade unionists, peace campaigners, and all those concerned about militarisation to an important online meeting to discuss the recently published Alternative Defence Review — a report promoted by CND UK as a response to the UK Government’s 2025 Strategic Defence Review.
As the British Government makes plans to put the country on a “war footing”, pumping more money into defence spending at the expense of public services and social security, this vital document calls for a radical break with successive UK governments’ failed security and defence policies and offers a bold, alternative vision to militarisation — one rooted human security and common security.
Join us at the Scottish launch of the Alternative Defence Review at 7pm on Wednesday the 18th of June on zoom.
🎙️ Speakers:
Professor Karen Bell – Professor of Social and Environmental Justice at Glasgow University, editor and key contributor to the Alternative Defence Review.
Alex Gordon – RMT union member and vice-chair of the working group that produced the report.
Sam Mason – Member of the CND Trade Union Advisory Group and also vice-chair of the report’s working group.
This meeting is proudly supported by Scottish CND and Stop the War Scotland.
All are welcome to attend, and we encourage you to share the meeting details widely within your networks.
