Welcome to the Newcastle Stop the War Coalition Website

Newcastle Stop the War, under the name of Tyneside Stop the War Coalition was founded in September 2001 in the weeks following 9/11, when George W. Bush announced the “war on terror”.   It was formed as part of the national Stop the War Coalition and affiliated to it.  Stop the War has since been dedicated to preventing and ending war.  We are also committed to supporting Palestinian rights, opposing racism and Islamophobia, and to defend the rights of all against the British state attacks on the individual and collective rights of the people. Individuals can become members of Stop the War, and we welcome affiliations by supporting organisations and trade unions.
