Take part in the #UKDefundWar Twitterstorm
30 November 2020, Online
Our Peace & Disarmament Programme in collaboration with partners from the Global Campaign on Military Spending UK has set up a Twitterstorm for Monday 30 November at 2pm.
Our Peace & Disarmament Programme and the Global Campaign on Military Spending UK (GCOMS), of which Quaker Peace and Social Witness is a part, have set up a twitterstorm for Monday 30 November at exactly 2pm with the following suggested message:
The pledge to increase UK military spending by £24 billion in the midst of COVID-19, economic and climate crises is a deeply damaging and worrying decision. A new arms race does not make us safe. #UKDefundWar
demilitarize.org.uk/defund-war
By taking part in this twitterstorm, you can help to spread the anti-militarist message far and wide. It is important that the hashtag isn't used ahead of Monday at 2pm, as that could reduce the chances of it trending on Twitter and reaching new audiences.
A meme will be prepared by GCOMS on Friday. Feel free to make adjustments and variations to the messaging, but make sure to use the unique #UKDefundWar hashtag, since the same hashtag needs to be used by everyone for this to stand a chance of becoming a trending topic on Twitter.
