Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament

📣 The threat of nuclear war is at the highest it has ever been, and the UK government is making things worse with plans to buy nuclear-capable fighter jets from Trump. ☮️ Join CND today, and help us halt the war drive: https://cnduk.org/join/

☮️CND has active groups across the country! 🎥Today we're spotlighting Finchley CND, who recently organised a screening of 'Gentle, Angry Women' at the Phoenix Cinema. ☮️Find out about your own local group and get involved today: https://cnduk.org/about/contact-us/local-groups/

Protestors battled the elements today to demonstrate at RAF Menwith Hill and call for the government to Kick Out Trump’s Spybase! We struck golfballs that look like the base’s giant radars - known as radomes - which are likely to have given intelligence to assist US and Israeli war crimes. 🏌️🏌️‍♀️🏌️‍♂️☮️☮️☮️

'Be ready' won't keep us safe We need to Protest and Survive New government guidelines emphasise the importance of emergency preparations for individual households, ignoring how their own actions are increasing security risks. See our full statement. #ProtestAndSurvive

📊 Ahead of Wednesday's autumn statement, this Survation poll shows that 62% want the Chancellor to prioritise tackling the cost of living - not increase military spending. 📝 Sign our petition, tell the government to change direction: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/people-not-nukes

War. Austerity. The rise of the far right. These issues are all connected and we must challenge them together. CND is proud to stand with Together Alliance in supporting this important summit in London. Register here: www.tickettailor.com/events/tates...

RAF Menwith Hill is the biggest US spy base outside of the US. It intercepts communications in Iran & Gaza. It's part of Trump's 'Golden Dome'. Join us Saturday to Kick Out Trump's Spy Station! https://cnduk.org/events/shut-down-us-bases-kick-out-trumps-spy-station-day-of-action-at-menwith-hill/

Ministers plan to slash subsidies for heat pumps to fund military spending hikes. These devices help households make crucial savings on heating & cut carbon emissions. Join us to discuss why we need to invest in real security. Plus new speaker - Jess Barnard, Labour NEC. #ClimateNotNukes

CND stands in solidarity with Italian peace activists protesting in Pisa & Trieste against the NATO ‘Steadfast Noon’ provocative nuclear exercises, which are increasing tensions at a time when nuclear risks over the Ukraine war are accelerating. #NoToNATO #YesToPeace

CND is supporting the International Youth Strike Against War on Friday 20 November. Across Europe, young people are challenging militarism. Read journalist, Jorg Kronauer's, report on growing anti-war movement in Germany. https://cnduk.org/young-people-across-europe-stand-up-to-war-and-militarism/

Chancellor John Healey plans to cut to welfare spending. Far from helping young people secure work, this will only drive them into further poverty. Join our meeting to argue why the government should invest in climate and public services - keeping us safer whilst boosting jobs.
