Since 1998 Quakers in France alongside other groups (Mennonites, Franciscans, MIR, CAAT, Mouvement de la Paix…) have been holding vigils and protesting at Eurosatory arms fair outside Paris. Stop Fuelling War is a secular French association created to counter the normalisation of the commerce of armaments. We use Quaker approaches and welcome the participation of people of all faiths and none. We treat with respect the participants at the arms fair, acknowledging that we all need security and employment. We are aware that in the EU, France is pushing for more militarisation — it is the fourth largest exporter of arms so our voice in France is important.
