National Alternative Remembrance Ceremony - in person or online
Event Date: 14th November 2021
Location: Internet 12 noon GMT or Tavistock Square in London
Join us this Sunday for the National Alternative Remembrance Ceremony – in person or online
After a year online, we are back in Tavistock Square in London. We will also live stream the event on our website for those who can’t make it in person.
The ceremony will highlight the importance of a peaceful and inclusive culture of remembrance at a time of growing instability caused by the climate crisis and the COVID pandemic. It will also mark twenty years since 9/11 and the invasion of Afghanistan, with speakers focussing on the catastrophic legacy of the ‘war on terror’.
With contributions from:
- Hamit Dardagan, co-founder of Iraq Body Count and the charity Every Casualty Worldwide
- Huda Ammori, activist, writer and co-founder of Palestine Action
- Hosted by Anya Nanning Ramamurthy, organiser of London youth climate strikes and PPU council member
We will lay white poppy wreaths in memory of all victims of war, both civilian and military, past and present. For those attending in person there will also be an opportunity to lay individual white poppies on the Conscientious Objectors’ Commemorative Stone.
When - 12 noon – 1pm, Remembrance Sunday 14th November
