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.

Get Involved

Regular Hastings Against War Meetings - Tuesday 1st February and Tuesday 15th February 2011 and thereafter on the first and third Tuesdays of the month.

Friends Meeting House, South Terrace, Hastings

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.
