cut all ties with arms companies in education
Arms Companies including BAE systems, Rolls Royce, Thales, Raytheon and Lockheed Martin spend millions every year to sponsor school events, fund competitions, do careers roadshows, provide work experience, and fund apprenticeship opportunities for students.
Arms companies have been operating in places of education for far too long, obscuring the violence of their production with the veneer of science and technology.
Students across the country have already resisted cooperating with the manufacturing of war.
Now more than ever, is a crucial moment to sever all ties with arms companies, to denormalise the production of war in all facets of society and to disavow our complicity in violence and genocide.
We call on educators, parents and students everywhere to:
Uncover ties between places of education and arms companies
Establish agreements in places of education to prohibit or end any partnerships with companies producing arms.
About the Campaign
Disarm education is a campaign by educators, parents and students to stop the collaboration of places of education with arms companies and weapons manufacturers. We firmly believe that students and young people should not be exposed to the production of war and violence should not be normalised through education. Learn more
