The Peace Diary will be with us on Monday 7thOctober. To place an order, and for more information please visit: http://www.housmans.com/diary.php

Remember Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp, the anti-roads protests of the 90’s, the march that shock Tony Blair, the Arab Spring, the anti-austerity protests, and all the other times, recent and historical, where people have stood up against injustice?

On Sunday 13 October we’re having a celebration of the power of ordinary and extraordinary people (like you) to transform the world, and we’d like you to join us.
Confirmed performers include:
Chris Coltrane: Stand-up comedian, socialist, feminist, skeptic, activist & fun-time maker.
