Work with the NEU
CND is needed now more than ever
ARTHUR WEST runs through Scottish CND's plans for the year ahead

AS WE start a New Year, Scottish CND is working on ideas to continue the struggle to rid our country and our world of the scourge of nuclear weapons. 

Our plans for 2018 include the organisation of a national Rally at the Faslane Nuclear Weapons Base on Saturday September 15.

This Rally will be preceded by a march from the Faslane Peace Camp just outside Helensburgh to the base. 

  • A summer full of outreach activities, street work and stalls at festivals across Scotland 
  • The development of a mobile exhibition called Scotland — a Peace of History. This exhibition will look at the Scottish journey of CND and the wider peace movement.
