Campaign Magazine

As (another!) Prime Minister is appointed to run the country, CND calls for a new direction. In these turbulent times, we need a government who will put an end to this drive to war-readiness and nuclear expansion, which is making the world more dangerous, putting our populations at risk and dragging us into deeper poverty and social deprivation. Over the past few months, CND has been campaigning against US involvement in British foreign policy; against Britain’s nuclear weapons; and in favour of a new way of defining our security. You’ll find articles on all these topics, and more, in the latest edition of our magazine, Campaign.

It has been a deeply concerning start to the year, with the US illegal attacks on Venezuela, threats to Greenland and now to Iran. This is increasing the opposition to Britain’s nuclear dependence on the US, including hosting deadly US nuclear weapons and buying American nuclear-capable fighter jets. In the face of these nuclear dangers, we hope you find this edition of CND’s magazine an informative and hopeful read. It features articles covering Britain’s nuclear expansion, why peace is trade union business, the need for the climate and peace movements to collaborate, and the human costs of nuclear testing.

With nuclear dangers at an all-time high, CND's Summer edition of Campaign magazine looks at the many different elements which make up or work campaigning for a more peaceful world. Artist Sarah Boris writes on why CND inspires her; Ellie Chowns MP discusses international leadership; while CND General Secretary Sophie Bolt examines the need to halt the British government’s nuclear expansion. Plus much more.

The record of the peace movement in Britain is a brave and principled one. As attacks on our movement grow, we need to unite in mass support to defend it and oppose the drift towards authoritarianism. Read more about the struggle ahead in this month’s magazine, plus find out the latest on US nuclear weapons coming to Britain.

With Trump set to be inaugurated as US President in the coming days, this month's magazine looks at the implications of his unpredictable foreign policy. The US has a huge military presence in the UK, with this month's second article looking at American drones that are due to be based here.

The world has never been at greater risk of nuclear war, but it’s inspiring to see how CND supporters and groups across the country have risen to the challenge and extended our campaigning for peace. Read all about our actions to make the world a safer place in this annual round-up.

he British government allowing Ukraine to use its missiles to attack Russia is an incredibly dangerous escalation to the conflict. In this month's magazine we assess how Britain risks being drawn into an all-out confrontation between nuclear-armed NATO and Russia. We also send our congratulations to the winners of this year's Nobel Peace Prize - Nihon Hidankyo. Read on as we pay tribute to how these victims of a nuclear attack have dedicated their lives to campaigning against nuclear weapons.

Labour’s first budget in almost 15 years was a boon for the Ministry of Defence, exposing ruthless spending priorities where billions of pounds are allocated for war while children go hungry and pensioners go cold. Read this month's edition of CND's magazine for our analysis. We also look at an often overlooked element of the conflict raging in the Middle East, as states in the region prepare to  gather to discuss (the lack of) progress on a weapons of mass destruction free zone. Find out more in the magazine.

The Ministry of Defence wants to build a radar in Pembrokeshire, Wales, as part of its plan to militarise space. In this month's magazine, we cover why CND is against this development. Read on as well for a farewell piece from our General Secretary Kate Hudson, who is retiring at the end of this month and will certainly be missed by so many.

In September CND will attend Labour’s first conference as a party of government since 2009. Unfortunately, when it comes to our issues, there doesn't seem to be much improvement over the last government. Find out more in this month's magazine about what CND expects from the event. We also assess the latest in the ongoing war in Ukraine and the ever-present threat of the conflict turning nuclear.
