Campaigns
As
well as holding a monthly peace camp and associated one-off
events, AWPC also tries to effect change in British nuclear
weapons policy through a wide range of methods. Below is
a list of methods we are currently using, and ideas about
how you can help.
| shareholding |
Three
companies are responsible for managing Aldermaston:
the US arms giant Lockheed
Martin,
the wholly British government-owned BNFL,
and the British-based company SERCO
- in which we have shares. This enables us to attend
their AGMs, ask awkward questions, lobby other shareholders,
and generally open up another front on which to
challenge the complacency of the nuclear industry.

campaign and about Serco

| public
information |
| AWPC
produces leaflets, a regular newsletter - Aldermaston
Update! - and this website as materials in the
propaganda “war” against nuclear weapons. We also hold
information stalls in the local community, speak at
events, and write articles and letters for other publications. |
| |
| direct
action |
| Many
individual women involved with AWPC have a strong belief
in the power of nonviolent direct action - both symbolic
and practical-based - as a way of showing opposition.
Direct action is an important facet of our identity
- it provides visible resistance to militarism, nuclear
weapons and male violence. |
| |
| dialogue |
| Over
the years we have met with senior management from AWE
in an attempt to raise concerns, get answers to pertinent
questions, and to engage in coherent dialogue with the
people who make money from producing nuclear warheads
for the British government. However, after several attempts,
we have consistently been refused a meeting with the
new management - who took over in April 2000.
We continue to ask nicely. |
| |
| work
with related groups |
| AWPC
is committed to creating and maintaining strong links
with both women-only and mixed groups, both in Britain
and internationally, working on related issues.
We will try and seize opportunities for joint actions
or solidarity campaigns. |
| |
| media-friendly
open actions |
| On
occasion we carry out media-friendly public actions.
These are usually an attempt to build on a topical event
and present an alternative viewpoint with maximum exposure.
