No more nuclear weapons: take action now
CND is continuing to mobilise opposition against the Government’s disastrous decision to increase the UK’s arsenal of nuclear warheads.
This development is hugely provocative on the global stage: it is the first step in a new nuclear arms race. ([link removed])
Responding to the urgency of the situation, MPs from across five different political parties have come together and tabled a motion in Parliament, calling on the Government to abandon the new arms race and scrap the warhead increase.
We're asking all CND supporters to use the tool below and ask their own MP to sign.

Integrated Review
Following on from the publication of the Government’s Integrated Review two weeks ago, CND General Secretary Kate Hudson has analysed the UK’s ‘focus on the Indo-Pacific region.’ ([link removed]) It is clear CND and the wider peace movement will have a massive role to play in the coming months and years.
As Kate points out, the Government’s policy is now one of ‘nuclear rearmament, dangerous military expansionism across a vast range of platforms and sectors, and a ramping up of aggressive UK posturing that can only contribute to global instability’.
Protect the Right to Protest
Thanks to public pressure, the Government has delayed the progress of its Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill through Parliament. But the dangers this Bill poses to peaceful protest remain very real.
Protestors could face ten year mandatory prison sentences for property damage, and would criminalise protest which caused ‘serious annoyance’.
Sign the Petition Against the Bill ([link removed])
The Network for Police Monitoring’s online petition, which CND is supporting, has already received over 200,000 signatures. CND has also signed this open letter to the Home Secretary ([link removed]) opposing the Bill, alongside dozens of other campaigning groups, trade unions and charities.
