Lobby against nuclear weapons at Westminster
CND asks Friends to join a lobby of parliament
The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) is asking Friends to join a lobby of parliament on 1 March to urge MPs to press the government to play a constructive role at the United Nations on nuclear weapons.
The UN is starting to negotiate a nuclear weapons ban treaty next month.
While the UK government has yet to say if it will take part in the upcoming discussions, it has boycotted previous steps in this process. The proposed treaty presents an opportunity to end the threat of nuclear annihilation and for the nine countries that have nuclear weapons to join the international consensus in favour of scrapping them.
CND hopes that Friends will hold Meetings between 12-6pm. The afternoon’s lobbying will be followed at 6pm by a parliamentary public meeting.
