Dear Friend,
I was hoping that I would never have to write this email, but unbelievably we are facing a return of US nuclear weapons to the UK.
The US Department of Defense has added the UK to a list of NATO nuclear weapons storage locations in Europe being upgraded under a multi-million-dollar infastructure programme. It is believed that US nuclear weapons will be coming to RAF Lakenheath, a base in Suffolk run by the US.
110 nuclear bombs were stored at the airbase until they were removed in 2008 following persistent popular protest by CND and the Lakenheath action group, and they must not be allowed back.
CND is leading the campaign against this extrememly dangerous and destabilising development. On Saturday 21st May we are calling on our members and supporters to assemble outside RAF Lakenheath to show that US nuclear weapons are not welcome back on UK soil.
This one action alone will cost around £5,000. We've already raised £1,000, but we still need to raise around £4,000 for the costs. Can you contribute to our crowdfunder and help protest the return of US nuclear bombs to the UK?
