Wednesday, 5th May: The People’s Jury @ the BAE AGM
BAE has once again escaped justice but we’re not letting them off the hook. Join ‘People’s Jury’ at BAE’s AGM to give BAE the people’s judgement on their corporate ‘ethics’.
Here’s the plan:
10am: Meet at Kingsgate House (66-74 Victoria Street, SW1E 6SW), home to the government’s arms sales department (the UKTI).
At 10.15 we’ll chase a giant Dick Olver away from the office that gives him so much support to the BAE AGM where we will pursue justice inside and outside of the building.
10.30am-12 noon Outside QEII Conference centre, Broad Sanctuary, London, SW1P 3EE (Westminster), where the ‘People’s Jury’ will be held.
The event is co-ordinated by CAAT’s Universities Network. For more info, see http://baepeoplesjury.wordpress.com. Monday, 10th May: Shut down Heckler & Koch
