View “Peace Matters”, Nov/Dec 2024

Please follow the link above or click here to read or download the latest edition of our local newsletter Peace Matters – information from Bristol, the UK and around the world about the campaign against nuclear weapons.

We are sending it to you and other local/national politicians and campaigning organisations in and around the Bristol area because we want to raise awareness of our campaigning activities and current key issues.

In this month’s edition there are articles including:

• CND’s response to the budget : Spending billions more on defence will drive insecurity not restore stability
• The government’s outrageous railroading through Parliament of the renewal of the US-UK Mutual Defence Agreement (MDA), the  secretive treaty that underpins the nuclear ‘special relationship’ between London and Washington
• Photos and report from Bristol’s ‘Join the Red Line’ demonstration for Gaza
• UK Government working to oppose UN nuclear war study : British and French diplomats have been lobbying to prevent a United Nations (UN) General Assembly resolution that would set up an international scientific study into the effects of nuclear war
  ... and many more topics
