Bike Ride to Brighton Arms Fair on 4th of June

The Radical Bike Group London is joining the Carnival against the arms trade in Brighton.

We will cycle there from Brixton Oval (meet in front of ritzi movie theater) from 6:00am, leaving 6:15am latest. If you want to join us, just come along, bring your bike, friends and some snacks for the road if you like.

Quote from the Schnews announcement for the Carnival:

The Smash EDO campaign would like to invite you to join a Carnival Against the Arms Trade. The Carnival will be a big, lively and interactive experience featuring live music, a critical mass bike ride (which will meet slightly earlier at 11.30 by Brighton train station), and other creative festivities of resistance. You are strongly encouraged to bring your own
whistles – instruments – banners – masks or anything else you can think of. The event will have a theme of red to symbolise the victims of the arms trade.

So far this year has been a hectic but successful one for the Smash EDO, especially with the campaign film ‘On the Verge’ touring the country (despite heavy police repression). The Carnival will be a great, fun opportunity to show EDO that the movement is bigger than ever and growing.
