In September 2014 (4th and 5th) NATO will bring its summit to Wales. Throughout Wales opposition grows, peace activists and members from a wide section of our communities are already spreading an alternative message across our land, with campaigners starting of on a 192-mile Long March On Newport inspired by the Chartist Uprising.
We have a long proud tradition of standing up for peace, against injustice, this is what I hope the walkers will bring to mind. Ordinary people reflecting a different view, another path. Against militarism and institutions that perpetuate violence on a global scale. As heads of governments from 60 countries head to Newport, at Celtic Manor Resort I sincerely hope that the people of Wales, are joined in solidarity from people from all walks of life who want to see an end to aggression perpetuated by alliances forged with imperialistic agendas, that seem to serve only their own self interests, profiteers of war and poverty, with the added obscene costs of this summit in these austere times, a clear message of defiance and resistance must be delivered. To demand a world without bosses or bombs.
Marchers plan to start from the Eisteddfod in Llanelli today to arrive in Newport on August 29 ,the day before a planned demonstration in the city, I hope to make the journey at some later stage too.
