Join Bath & District UNA, Bath Stop War and Rethinking Security B&NES for a talk with CND General Secretary Sophie Bolt on how we reverse the international drive to war.
The Doomsday Clock stands at 85 seconds to midnight as spending on arms is surging worldwide. The global threat of nuclear war has rarely been greater – while climate breakdown puts not just people but planet in jeopardy.
Our own country is part of the problem, spending hundreds of billions on nuclear weapons (in defiance of our obligations under international treaties) and allowing the United States to park some of its own nuclear arsenal on British soil for the first time in nearly 20 years.
But, even as these threats are growing, so is the opposition. Pressure is building on the Government to instead prioritise tackling poverty and repairing our crumbling public infrastructure and services. Over 55 per cent of the public have supported calls for US bases to be closed if Trump attacks Greenland. Even more oppose US nukes being deployed in Britain.
Join this critical meeting to discuss all this and more.
