A protest will take place tomorrow both online and outside Menwith Hill against what campaigners say is the increasing "militarisation of space".
It's been organised by the Menwith Hill Accountability Campaign (MHAC) and the Yorkshire branch of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (YCND). The event will include speakers, film, and an online link with protesters at the base.
The event forms part of "Keep Space for Peace Week", which aims to highlight concerns about the US Space Force, a new branch of the US Armed Forces.
One of the speakers, Will Griffin, will be showing extracts from his recent film about the role of Menwith Hill.
