New campaign for disarmament of Swedish weapons export

The goal with the campaign Disarm (Avrusta) is to stop the Swedish weapons export. In their manifesto you can read more about the campaign, which is part of the network Ofog and its work for a world without war or militarism.

The name for the campaign – Disarm – is double fold. It should be seen as an invitation to everyone to begin to physically disarm Swedish weapons for export, with the help of a simple tool, like a hammer. But even if we believe that it is required that people actively intervene and physically stop lethal weapons, we also realize that bigger political changes will have to come to place if we want to stop the entire Swedish weapons export. That is why Disarm is also an invitation to everyone to work for political decisions that will lead to a total disarmament of the Swedish weapons export and eventually an end to the Swedish weapons production.

Swedish export affects people’s lives mostly outside of its national borders. That is why it is crucial for this campaign to have international voices against the weapons export. We hope that you would like to support this campaign in any way you can. Organisations, networks and individuals can become a part of the campaign by signing the appeal for disarmament. Please spread it widely in your networks.
