The Winter edition of the Merseyside CND newsletter is now available to download and includes:
In August 2018 Donald Trump ordered the Pentagon to create ‘Space Force’ as a brand new branch of the military. Its task, according to the President, is to ensure U.S. ‘control and domination’ of space, if necessary, by fighting wars.
The U.N.’s Outer Space and Moon Treaties declare that space must be preserved for all of humanity. Trump’s plans to weaponise space are in direct contravention of those treaties.
The idea that the U.S. must dominate space is arrogant, stupid, dangerous and highly destabilising to world peace. However, it is in line with Trump’s new belligerence and alarming readiness to use force.
Everyone who believes in peace should protest at Trump’s plans to weaponise space. During 6thth October, the annual KEEP SPACE FOR PEACE WEEK will focus on the ‘Space Force’. Please contact your M.P. and ask them to urge the British Government to denounce Trump’s ‘Space Force’ as illegal, irresponsible and a threat to the future of humanity.
Join us on 13th at 12:00 outside Primark in Liverpool and show your support for peace!
Everyone is welcome to join us in remembering over 130,000 people who were killed by the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in August 1945. The event will be attended by Lord Mayor of Liverpool, Christine Banks and her junior Lord Mayors, who’ll lay a wreath in memory of the victims. There will be speeches, poetry, music and you can also learn to make peace cranes which are going to be sent to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
