Making a Bloody Profit

Manchester Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) recently protested at Greater Manchester Pension Fund's investments in arms companies at its Forum for retired Members at New Century Hall. Greater Manchester Council Tax, Fund members' contributions, including Greater Manchester Councillors, are invested in UK and overseas arms companies by the Fund.

Manchester CAAT has launched a new website detailing these investments and showing the weapons the Fund invests in. Signatures for a petition opposing these investments, which can be downloaded from the website, are being collected from Council tax payers, Fund Members and Councillors or you can send letters condemning these investments via the website.

Help is needed to collect signatures across Greater Manchester. To volunteer, please email CAAT via the website or write to Manchester CAAT, Box 24, Bridge 5 Mill, 22A Beswick Street, Ancoats M4 7HR.
