Dear Friend,
As I write, the war in Ukraine threatens to spiral out of control, with the risk of nuclear war increasing with every single day. You must be as terrified and outraged as I am. It seems as if no-one is talking about peace at the moment, only banging the drums of war.
But you and I know the only way to end this conflict and ensure the world steps back from the brink of nuclear Armageddon, is to get all parties to the negotiating table.
CND is taking action to push for peace, but we need your help to do so. Please donate to CND if you can and help stop the march to nuclear war.

Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine has already brought death and destruction to many thousands of ordinary men, women and children in both Ukraine and Russia.
War needs to be ended as quickly as possible, through negotiations, rather than dragging out a devastating conflict; the longer it continues, the greater the risk of nuclear weapons being used. It is a matter of urgency that all powers, including the UK and the US, stop escalating the war, before it is too late.
Current UK and US policy is dominated by looking for a military 'solution' to this conflict and talk of 'tactical' nuclear weapons use is increasing. The war must be ended through dialogue and negotiation before this catastrophe unfolds.
Here is what we're doing to help:
1. Ramping up the pressure on the UK Government to seek a diplomatic and political resolution to the conflict, rather than further fanning the flames of war.
2. Urgently opposing the return of US 'tactical' nuclear weapons to the UK, these are the weapons whose use is being discussed.
3. Stepping up our peace education and outreach work with young people, having been inundated with requests for information about nuclear weapons, nuclear war, and peaceful resolutions to conflict, since the war started.
This is all vital work, but we need your help to make it happen. Please, if you can, donate today. Our goal is to raise at least £34,000 with this urgent appeal. It sounds like a lot, but if we're to make our voices heard as loudly as possible we'll need at least this much for the months ahead.

We must continue to lobby for peace. And you can help. Please, make a much needed donation and together we can stop the march to nuclear war.
In peace,
