| Croeso i’r ymgyrch dros heddwch a chyfiawnder! Welcome to the campaign
for peace and justice! Visit our Facebook page for more up-to-date information. • Where do we meet? Mae’r grwp yn cyfarfod bob Nos Lun, 6.30yh yn the Friends Meeting House, Stryd y Deon, Bangor. Mae’r grwp yn ymgyrchu yn ddwyieithog; mae’r cyfarfodydd fel arfer yn yr iaith Saesneg. Our group meets every Monday at 6.30pm in the Friends Meeting House, Dean Street, Bangor. The group campaigns bilingually; meetings are generally held in the English language. • Who are we? Bangor & Ynys Môn Peace and Justice is an independent peace group, which cooperates with many other campaigning groups in the locality, in Wales as a whole, across the border and internationally. Many members have personal experience of the Middle East, Africa and other parts of the world; a number of former members are now working on projects in Palestine. The group, which was founded in the autumn of 2001, has also sought to build bridges in the local community. We welcome people from various political parties (or none), trade unions, faiths (or none), students and non-students, people of all ages, people from many different backgrounds and with many different interests. • What do we do? The group campaigns against war, occupation and state terrorism. It is particularly concerned with Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran, with the oppression of Palestine, and also with events in Burma, Africa, Central and South America and other parts of the world. It opposes nuclear weapons and the arms trade. It campaigns for human rights, international law and fair trade. It supports the Olive Grooves group, which raises funds locally for planting olive trees in Palestine. It campaigns against the proposed Military Acadamy at St Athan/ Sain Tathan. We have weekly discussions on current affairs. We organise local demonstrations, and travel to protests in other cities and regions, from Faslane to London. We arrange stalls, pickets, non-violent direct action, lobbies of MPs, AMs and MEPs. We hold public meetings and lectures, debates, films, exhibitions, fund-raising gigs, concerts and stand-up comedy shows... Out of Bangor? Other peace groups are established in Caernarfon / Penygroes (Arfon Peace and Justice, contact benica@gn.apc.org) and in Llandudno/Conwy (Conwy peace group, morganpostcards@btinternet.com)
