Nuclear Ban - What's Next?

Posted: 18th February 2021

Polling commissioned by CND shows that 77% of the UK public support a total ban on all nuclear weapons globally, including 71% of Conservative voters and 83% of Labour voters. Almost 60% specifically said they want the government to sign up to the UN’s new ban treaty to bring that change about.

But shamefully the government is refusing to even consider this crucial agreement, which has already been signed by 86 countries worldwide. CND is campaigning for the government to take this crucial step towards securing a world without nuclear weapons. Get involved!

What can I do to support the campaign?

• Put pressure on your MP CND is calling on our supporters to arrange a meeting with your MP to discuss the importance of this treaty.
• Get your area to support the campaign Towns and cities around the world – including Washington, Paris and Manchester – are bypassing their governments’ opposition and becoming Nuclear Ban Communities as they sign up to support the TPNW. Why not get your town, village or city involved?
• Share the petition The more pressure on the government the better, so please share our petition with your friends and networks: we’ll be handing in the signatures in the next few months.

This historic agreement will no doubt generate international momentum towards global nuclear abolition, but we need you to join us to make sure the UK plays its part.
