No US nukes! Join CND at RAF Lakenheath, 2 November

CND's next national demonstration in opposition to the return of US nuclear weapons to Britain will take place on Saturday, 2 November. The demo follows a busy summer of activity by the Lakenheath Alliance for Peace - of which CND is a member - including a two week peace camp in July, and the start of monthly peace vigils at the main gate.

We are delighted to announce that we'll be joined by Melissa Parke, Executive Director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), who will speak about how Lakenheath fits into the wider campaign against nuclear weapons in Europe. A full list of speakers will be announced shortly. In the meantime, book your transport and get your banners ready!
