Stories of State Surveillance and Infiltration of Peace Movements: Peace History Conference 2021
26th September 2021 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Organised by the Peace History Conference group, with Greater Manchester & District CND and the Working Class Movement Library, this year’s Peace History Conference will consider examples of state spying on peace campaigns and explore the lessons of this history for today’s activists.
The programme is still being developed but current speakers include:
• The journalist Rob Evans, author of Undercover, who will discuss the activities of undercover police within peace and environmental movements (late 20th century)
• The historian Dr Alison Ronan will speak about state surveillance of 1920s/30s pacifist groups, including Peace Pledge Union and War No More
The webinar is free and there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion. For any queries, please contact gmdcnd@gn.apc.org or phone 0161 273 8283.
