Inaugural AGM of the Global Campaign on Military Spending UK

I am writing to invite you to the inaugural Annual General Meeting of the Global Campaign on Military Spending UK (GCOMS UK), which is the UK branch of a global network that raises awareness about the humanitarian, ecological and other costs of the UK government’s commitment to militarism. GCOMS UK was reconstituted last year and has helped to initiate and coordinate a promising spike in anti-militarist activity.

Last year a new steering group came together to increase the focus and impact of the campaign, and new funding has provided it with some longer-term stability. The network is keen to open up the discussions to include all supporting organisations and grassroots campaigners. The inaugural Annual General Meeting of the network is going to be held at 2.30-4pm on Sunday 3 October. 

We are inviting peace and justice campaigners to take part in the AGM either as individuals, or as delegates of the peace and justice groups they are involved in. The success of the network and of its campaigns will in large part depend on the commitment, energy and initiative of grassroots peacemakers, so please help us to shape the future of this important new network for peace and demilitarisation.
