Welcome to our new website
	In 2024, our local peace campaign, Hastings against War, joined forces with the local group of Extinction Rebellion.
Hastings against War - in the past
	Hastings Against War (HAW) was formed in February 2003 in response to the growing threat of a US/UK invasion of Iraq. Since then we have organised countless information stalls, film screenings, talks, and street actions, as well as an art exhibition, benefit concerts and a major conference at the White Rock Theatre - 'Waging War, Making Peace'.

	We have worked to raise awareness of the human cost of UK/US policies in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere, exposing the often hidden facts about civilian casualties and corporate profiteering. We've campaigned against the arms trade which profits from war. Each year HAW has taken part in 'Fly Kites Not Drones', an international event begun by young peace activists in Afghanistan in response to their younger brothers and sisters being afraid to fly kites because of the threat of drone attacks. HAW has organised the annual commemoration of the Hiroshima anniversary. HAW members have visited Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraqi Kurdistan, working in solidarity with indigenous people living with the effects of conflict. Now we are proud to be a part of Extinction Rebellion - Hastings & St Leonards.
