Welcome

Hastings Against War was formed in February 2003, when local peace campaigners and anti-war activists came together to oppose the invasion of Iraq. Its position then, and since, is that the invasion of Iraq was illegal, immoral and unjustified.

Working locally, and making links with other national groups, Hastings Against War has consistently campaigned against the invasion of Iraq. We continue to highlight conditions in Iraq as well as making links with other anti-war groups and organisations, and joining with others to oppose all wars.

Hastings Friends of Yatma:

Yatma is a Palestinian village near Nablus, West Bank that has requested twinning with a UK peace group. To that end some Hastings people have set up 'Friends of Yatma' to work with the residents of Yatma to build peace and security in their community. For information contact rosmeadow@yahoo.co

Donations welcome:

Hastings Against War carries out many campaigns for peace. Although we have a modest budget, additional funds would let us expand our campaigns. Please consider donating to our ongoing work by sending your cheque to the HAW Treasurer,

Nuclear Power Station

The government has publicised a potential list of sites to build new Nuclear Power Stations, perhaps predictably one of the sites is Dungeness only 18 miles from Hastings. Battles raged in the 80's when Dungeness B was being built, the Government has changed the rules to avoid lengthy but basically open public enquiries precisely for these projects so perhaps it is time for a preemptive strike and start forming a wide coalition of all groups and people with anti-nuclear, environmental and climate concerns in the area.
