Target Brimar

Target Brimar is not an isolated campaign. Rather it is part of a national and international anti-militarist struggle.  Militarism is the belief of a government or people that a country should maintain a strong military capability and be prepared to use it to aggressively defend or promote its national interests.  Put simply, militarism leads to war.

Target Brimar is part of the UK Anti-Militarist Network: www.antimilitaristnetwork.org.uk
