A meeting to discuss responses by Sydney peace, environmental, social justice and solidarity organisations and individuals to the Talisman Sabre 2011 military exercises.
The Talisman Sabre war games, held every 2 years, are among the world’s largest military exercises, involving up to 30,000 Australian and American military personnel. A key locality for field training is the Shoalwater Bay Training waters within the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area.
For Talisman Sabre 2011 (the fifth exercise in the Talisman Sabre series), manoeuvres and live firing elements will be conducted over a two-week period from18 to 29 July.
Plans for a 2011 Peace Convergence are underway, and interested people are invited to the meeting to share their ideas about how Sydney activists might contribute towards the protests.
