Welcome to Speak

JOIN US FOR THE DAY OF ACTION AFTER SOUNDCHECK: MONDAY 1ST MARCH 2010
“They will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.”(Isaiah 2:3-5)
The day will begin with a time of reflection, prayer and worship before heading out in solidarity with one another to demand an end to the support of an industry which brings so much suffering and injustice. We shall march to Kingsgate house, where DSO is based, where we shall cover a wire mesh tank in peace doves and hand it in as a symbolic petition of the transformation we want to see in our society. Inspired by Isaiah's vision, we will join together in repentance for sins of our world and celebration of Jesus' power, praying for the values of His Kingdom to transform people's hearts.
We will then go to meet our MPs in Parliament and challenge them to join us in our campaign. Click here for a template letter to invite your MP! If you can't make it to the Day of Action, why not write to them anyway and ask to meet them in your constituency?
