Wages not Weapons: CND at the Tory party conference 2023

Despite failing spectacularly in managing the cost of living crisis or addressing the climate emergency, the Conservative government has succeeded at one thing in 2023 - approving massive increases in military spending - including ?9 billion extra for nuclear weapons over the next five years!?

With Tory party members and MPs set to descend on Manchester for their annual conference this autumn, CND will be there to spread our Wages not Weapons campaign at The People's Assembly national demonstration taking place outside.

We're calling on supporters to join our peace bloc on the day and help spread the message that money for weapons is a political choice that would be better spent on fixing our public services, tackling the climate emergency, and promoting a foreign policy based on dialogue and cooperation.?

Sunday, 1 October
Assemble on Oxford Road, Manchester from 12 noon

Coaches to and from the demonstration are being arranged by People's Assembly groups across the country. Secure your space here. For other queries, contact [email protected]
