Declassified UK will host its first ever summit, Challenging the War Machine, on Saturday 31 January 2026 at EartH in Dalston, London.
The one-day summit will bring together journalists, activists, academics, campaigners and members of the public to examine how the UK’s war machine operates and, crucially, how we challenge it.
Challenging the War Machine is open to anyone interested in understanding the structures and systems that underpin the drive to war, and how we challenge it. We will firstly assess the crisis we are in and thereafter we’ll be answering questions such as:
Breaking the war narrative
How do we challenge the drive to war? How do we challenge the propaganda machines of the legacy media & cultivate independent media? How do we challenge UK support for Israel? How do we build an active majority against war and militarism?
Challenging the War Machine marks a major milestone for Declassified UK, bringing its reporting off the page and into a shared physical space for dialogue.
The summit will feature Declassified UK journalists and contributors alongside a wide range of independent media organisations and movement groups, including:
Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND)
Deducation
Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT)
Join us on 31 January 2026 at EartH, Stoke Newington Rd, London N16 8BH
Tickets cost from £10. Sign up here.
