It has just been announced that scientists have now set the Doomsday Clock at 85 Seconds to Midnight. This means that we are the closest we have ever been to global catastrophe and the extinction of humanity. In making this announcement, scientists have warned that people and planet are have been put at greater risk because of a “full-blown arms race, as evidenced by increasing numbers of nuclear warheads.” We must urgently do everything we can to reverse this nuclear expansion. I ask you to please consider donating to CND today, to help build the movement for a peaceful, nuclear-free future.
Nuclear weapons don’t keep us safe. They hold the entire world to ransom. They cannot be part of any civilised so-called defence policy. This is why arms control treaties like the New START between the two biggest nuclear powers of Russia and the US are so critical. It is also essential for the UK to start playing a more positive role on the world stage, by taking steps towards nuclear disarmament. This is whyCND is campaigning against the government’s recent decision to purchase new, nuclear-capable F-35 jets.
By donating to CND, you will be helping to grow the campaign against these toxic weapons of mass destruction and in favour of peace. If you haven’t already, then please also consider joining CND and help to spread the word amongst friends and family members.
In peace,
Sophie Bolt
General Secretary
