VFP UK STATEMENT OF INTENT

(DRAFT 4 April 2016 FH London)

We are a voluntary ex-services organisation of men and women, who collectively have served in every war that Britain has fought since WW2.

We say: ‘War is not the solution to the problems we face in the 21st century’.

We seek to embolden people to:

• Reject the ideology of militarism
• Dismantle all nuclear weapons
• Abandon the arms industry
• Advocate nonviolent alternatives to warfare

We focus our work to:

• Educate young people on the true nature of military service and war
• Resist war and militarism through nonviolent struggle
• Stand in solidarity with people resisting militarism and war

We exist to free all people from the War System.
