[Vredeslijst] Fwd: 20 feb: Stop the War on Migrants Demonstration TU Delft Bedrijvendag

[Stop Wapenhandel - Mark Akkerman]

Stop the War on Migrants Demonstration TU Delft Bedrijvendag

We are calling for a demonstration against the cooperation between 
universities and weapons companies. These companies profit from wars and 
the exploitation of migrants.

TU Delft has been cooperating with Thales and Airbus on research and 
development of advanced military technology, such as radar systems and 
composites for military aircraft. Their products are being used in 
war-zones and by EU border guards, making the borders more and more 
deadly. They spend huge amounts of money to lobby the European Union to 
militarize its borders.
Both companies are taking part in the upcoming career fair in TU Delft. 
They aim to promote their job and attract engineer students to work for 
them.
We will be loud, we will be visible and we will be there to disturb 
their dirty business.

*A **few words **a**bout us.*
We are a newly formed, self-organised group based in Amsterdam. We 
campaign against the current EU border and migration policies. We focus 
on the way the EU militarises border security, and the arms and security 
companies, such as Airbus and Thales, lobbying for and profiting from 
this. We stand
in solidarity with anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian, anti-racist and
environmental movement. Last but not least, we don't have any connection 
with state organisations or funding, and we do not intend to have any.
