Join a global movement, take to action and make a stand for the health of London over the expansion of London City Airport.

London City Airport wants to expand. In July Newham Council will decide whether to let them.

The Airport has already outgrown its Docklands location. More expansion will mean more noise, more air pollution and more heavy traffic in the streets near the airport. 

Meanwhile proposals to revive the Royal Docks by replacing the airport with sustainable developments are gathering support.

The Future is organising an action on Monday 21st July at 11am - the week that Newham Council will make their decision - inviting people to go and watch the airport. 

Those gathered will draw a circle around their eye to show that they are watching those with power and will judge them if they choose the toxicity of London City Airport over the health of local people. 

11am, Monday 21st July

Meet at 10.30am at the Roz Café, Pier Parade, E16 2LJ

Amina Gichinga wears the eye in the photo for this event. Amina is the coordinator of the Royal Docks Singstars - a choir who gather and sing in the shadow of London City Airport. Ever wondered what it would be like to live in the streets that surround an airport? Watch the video below.
