Lakenheath: its role in the US war machine - CND webinar

Since April 2022, CND has strongly suspected that US nuclear bombs will be returning to RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk. Now as evidence of the deployment starts to stack up, the national media is starting to take notice and public protest is on the increase.
?
With the threat of nuclear war at its highest in decades, the return marks a dangerous escalation at a time of growing global conflicts. But what is going on at Lakenheath? How does the base fit into the US war machine? And what can we do to oppose it??

CND invites you to join our upcoming webinar exploring these topics, with speakers including the scientist who first uncovered Washington's intention to station nuclear weapons in Britain for the first time in 16 years.??

Global Day of Action. Ceasefire Now. Stop the War on Gaza. Saturday 17 February

Join the global day of action for Gaza, 17 February

Israel's brutal assault on Gaza continues to impose daily horrors on Palestinians. According to Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN agency for Palestine refugees, UNRWA, over 100,000 people have now been killed, injured or missing after four months of war, amounting to 5 percent of Gaza's population.?

Israel's mass destruction has left 80 percent of the Strip's population displaced and Benjamin Netanyahu has shown no interest in ending Israel's military campaign. As Israeli protesters block vital aid from entering Gaza, the risk of famine looms.?

While the British government's response to this crisis has been nothing short of shameful, people across the world are building a movement that transcends borders to call for a ceasefire, justice and express our solidarity with Palestine.?
