Stop Trident Parliamentary Lobby

Wednesday 13th July

National CND is calling for a lobby of MPs as Parliament prepares to vote on whether to waste £100,000,000,000 (billion) on a new generation of nuclear weapons.
Following on from the hugely successful Stop Trident demonstration in February, this lobby is not only a great way to maintain momentum but could also be our last opportunity to influence the decision.

Please contact your MP and tell them that instead of murderous, useless and obscenely expensive nuclear weapons, that money should be spent on the N.H.S., education, transport and other vital public services.

As a sign of the widespread opposition to Trident, CND is being supported by numerous organisations including: Campaign against Arms Trade, Medact and the Quakers

Trident and the Labour Defence Policy Review

27feb16_stop_trident_460_2c

Soon after his election as Labour Party leader, Jeremy Corbyn announced a review of defence policy. This, crucially, will include Trident and gives anti-nuclear activists, and the wider general public, the chance to voice opposition to new generation of useless and obscenely expensive nuclear weapons.

C.N.D. campaigners have spoken at over 40 Stop Trident events across the country and have been met with overwhelming support from audiences who agree that the time has come to abolish nuclear weapons and, instead, use the money for the NHS, education, transport and battling climate change.

Please send your submission to defencereview@labour.org.uk
