Mass action July 26th

Military exercises, the global arms industry and a culture of war has continued undisturbed for too long. With the color pink, we mark all places where wars are prepared and make the connections clear: war starts here - we can stop it here!

At Europe's largest military training area, NEAT in northen Sweden, armed forces from around the world trains dropping bombs and develops new destructive weapons systems. We will not let the war preparations continue undisturbed. On July 26th, we use the color pink to mark NEAT as one of the cornerstones of the global warmachinery.

We use the color pink because it is a strong and evident color - perfect for exposing the destructiveness and violence of the military. By making the war industry pink we disarm it, and reveal the logic of militarism as the lie it is.

On July 26, a pink caravan of bicycles, cars, buses, unicycles, roller skates and other forms of transport will reach the military airport at NEAT. Once there, we mark the area around it pink, we get past the fence and mark the runway pink, we use our bodies, banners, color and humour.

Together we form a solid voice that calls for an end to all violent expressions of militarism. Come and join the mass action against the war machinery!

Where: NEAT military airport, close to the village of Vidsel. A caravan towards NEAT will leave from Luleå city, and it is possible to join along the road.
When: Tuesday, July 26th. Times will be announced.
How: Come in pink clothes, pink banners, blankets, umbrellas, color and everything pink you can imagine!
