Thank you to everyone who is getting involved in our Emergency Day of Action

Thank you to everyone who is getting involved in our Emergency Day of Action – which takes place this Saturday.

Britain’s decision to allow Ukraine to use its long-range missiles is a very dangerous escalation in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict. It risks dragging Britain into an all-out confrontation between NATO and Russia, raising the risk of nuclear conflict.

We cannot remain passive while politicians escalate the chances of nuclear weapons being used. Action is urgently needed to make political leaders step back from the nuclear brink. Join with peace campaigners across the country taking part in our emergency day of action, which calls on our government to withdraw Storm Shadow Missiles from Ukraine.

Events are already organised for London, Birmingham, Brighton, and Lobby your MP

Instead of fueling further military escalation, the government should focus on promoting negotiations and a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.  We must urge the government to act swiftly through diplomacy, dialogue, and disarmament.

Write to your MP to urge political leaders to step back from the nuclear brink. You can find an email template here. You can find more actions and resources for you to use on our dedicated day of action page here.

Nuclear risks in an age of war, genocide and global shifts, will look at the latest wave of nuclear weapons modernisation and growing nuclear risks. It will ask why is this happening? What are the sources of these increased nuclear risks? What is driving the expansion of nuclear arsenals? Why, contrary to their public warnings against nuclear use, are the nuclear-armed states making nuclear war more likely? Why did the US sabotage the international system of rules designed to mitigate against nuclear use? What does all this mean in an age of war and a genocide perpetrated by a nuclear-armed state? Will the global shifts in power and influence increase or decrease nuclear tensions? What can be done in response?
