Subject: West Midlands must not promote merchants of death
_
Dear Mayor Richard Parker,
I am writing to express my dismay that the NEC is being used to showcase war and weapons in the form of the “SDSC-UK” event in February 2026.. The pre-eminent West Midlands venue should be there to promote companies that profit from human rights abuses and war crimes.
For detail, I direct your attention to the letter I have signed to the NEC group and its CEO, Paul Reeve.

Crucially, we know that companies associated with this event are associated with the carnage in Gaza, Yemen, and human rights abuses around the world. The event has already left Malvern and Telford following opposition.
We invite you to speak out against this affront to our values in the West Midlands and to humanity. Please speak out to stop the SDSC-UK.
Many thanks,
