Events
The Movement for the Abolition of War welcomes you to all events.
And STILL they don't listen!
Dates: 1/9/09 to 2/9/09
Details: Join us in working for a responsive State which listens to citizens and takes the law seriously! This conference will not be academic, but centre on the needs of citizens who believe in the rule of law and are anxious for their activism to be more effective. We hope to draw on the wide range of expertise and experience represented by our speakers, some of whom are listed below. For full list see booking form. Workshops will consider: ways and means of approaching MPs, creating an archive of common responses from Government and politicians, developing a bank of useful responses based on the advice of lawyers, and reaching out to like-minded groups and the public. We intend there to be a result: strategies to achieve a more constructive dialogue between officials, legislators and citizens about compliance with the law by the British State. Do join us for this unique opportunity...
