Take Action

Use our briefing to start a discussion with your MP on their approach to some big security issues. The briefing contains 5 topics, as well as links to a number of our resources to help you prepare. You are very welcome to get in touch for more support and also to let us know what happened via email (joanna @ rethinkingsecurity.org.uk) or by filling in this form.

Ideas about security change when we start dialoguing in our own communities, when we allow ordinary voices to be heard in discussion about security, and when we challenge mainstream thinking about ‘national security’ among our decision makers. Use this guide to host a discussion in your local group or community

The Visualising Security project is a photovoice project that was used in the Alternative Security Review to help people think about their own definitions of security using images and stories. A Visualising Security session is not difficult to run and can produce profound results.

This how to guide is for people who are in interested in doing research on issues that concern them. It allows users to create their own research questions, gather real-life data, and come up with answers. Created by the Research Centre for Coventry Trust, Peace and Social Relations in collaboration with Rethinking Security.
