Saturday 10 October international demonstrations for Palestine;

international day of action by dockworkers against war in October (date to be confirmed);

Friday 20 November an international day of student strikes and protests against conscription across Europe;

21/22 November a global weekend of action against militarism and conscription.

The statement agreed at the conference can be found here.

A model resolution for union branches and groups to support the actions arising from the conference, including the days of action and the campaigns for welfare not warfare and against militarism and conscription can be downloaded here.

As the call for international conference said: “We must create our own international network which will organize for peace, oppose the revitalised US imperial project, and fight for the livelihood, indeed the very lives, of working people.“
