** Keep Space for Peace: week of activities
------------------------------------------------------------
The militarisation of space has become an increasing concern for peace activists over the past couple of years, not least following US President Donald Trump’s creation of a ‘Space Force’. Billions of pounds are being spent by multiple countries on militarising space – on satellites, ground-based stations and new technologies such as armed drones controlled through satellites. Warfare has become almost totally dependent on space technology.
Every year, the Global Network against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space – of which CND is a member – calls a Keep Space for Peace week of protest. This year's actions launch today with many events happening across the UK and internationally, a selection of which we've highlighted below.
