Speak out against government’s reckless military spending

Since taking office, the British government has made clear it is prioritising increased military spending over investing in our public services.  

 

This spring, CND is planning a series of adverts in key regional newspapers up and down the country to coincide with the Spring Budget Statement – with a message to the government to urgently tackle the rising poverty crisis and our crumbling public services instead of reckless military spending.

 

Please, if you can, make a donation towards the cost of the adverts. Everyone who makes a donation will have their name published alongside the ads. This is an opportunity for you to publicly demonstrate your support for our campaign!

Billions upon billions of pounds have been spent on arms manufacture and nuclear weapons. With only a fraction of this money, the government could rebuild our schools and hospitals, pay for more teachers, nurses and doctors, or bring public utilities back into public ownership.

 

Let’s get our message out loud and clear.

 

CND needs your support to help raise the profile of these issues. So, please donate if you can.

 

We must receive your donation by Friday 21 February for your name to appear on the advert.

In peace,
Sophie Bolt
General Secretary
