Dear Friend,
We're now over halfway towards our goal of placing a full page advert in a national newspaper in support of the crucial nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
But we need to raise another £6,000 by the end of February. Can you help?
|

The countdown to the 2020 NPT Review Conference is well underway. This is a once every five years' opportunity, where governments get together to review the progress they have made towards the goal of the Treaty - complete disarmament of all nuclear weapons.
As we know, there has been little progress since the last Review conference: every nuclear weapons state is 'modernising' its arsenal.
The UK is a major culprit. It signed the NPT in 1968, but continues to possess nuclear weapons, and has committed to replacing Trident. We need to act now to make sure our government participates in this conference at a high level, and takes its legal and moral obligations seriously.
We want to print a full page advert in a national newspaper before the NPT Review Conference begins at the end of April, urging people to lobby the government to send a high level delegation to participate.

|
The advert would reach an audience of around 600,000 people, getting them involved in the campaign to end nuclear weapons and increasing the pressure on the government to live up to its responsibilities under the treaty.
|
|
|
This is a real opportunity to speak out in favour of nuclear disarmament. Will you help us take it?
|
|
|
If just 240 people donate £25 each, the advert will be fully funded, but any amount will be gratefully received.
|
|
|
We don't have long. We need raise the full amount by February 29th in order for the advert to be published. So please, make a donation today and add your name to our newspaper advert.
