The good news on January 22nd was that the Nuclear BAN Treaty became legal! We hope to celebrate this in Bromley with the planting of a tree at some time this year or in the future

CND still very much needs support with their campaigns especially since the Coronavirus has exposed the futility of spending billions on new nuclear weapons when money is needed for essential services. CND is also supporting the challenges of climate change working with XR, dealing with the refugee crisis, and the campaign to get the UK to sign up for the Nuclear Ban Treaty.

The selling of arms to Saudi Arabia continues and there are great concerns regarding increased tension in Gaza, the UK's plans for Trident renewal, the use of drones and the dangers from nuclear power pollution from the Fukushima fall out. This year the Arms Fair takes place again at the Excel Centre from Sept 14th - 17th and we will aim to be there with our banner.

As I say each year - it would be really supportive if local Bromley Borough CND members could also join National CND, if they don't already belong.
