No plans on Sunday? Join the Peace Pledge Union 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 WorldwideHuda Ammori, activist, writer and co-founder of Palestine ActionHosted 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 #ConscientiousObjectors' Commemorative Stone.

When - 12 noon - 1pm, Remembrance Sunday 14th November
