The Campaign for Nuclear
Disarmament (CND) has been working for a nuclear free future since 1958, and
remains one of the largest membership organizations in the country. We
campaign peacefully to rid the world of nuclear weapons and other weapons of
mass destruction, and to create genuine security for future generations.
Aberdeen CND is a new
group formed in January 2007. We are an active band of volunteers who meet
regularly to arrange anti-nuclear activities.
Our first activity was
organizing a public meeting with Bruce Kent, one of Britain’s leading
peace campaigners. In February 2007, Bruce addressed a large audience in
Aberdeen on the question of Trident replacement. Following this, we have attended
Anti-Trident Demonstrations in Glasgow and Edinburgh. We have also been to
Faslane to blockade the base. In Aberdeen we have staged a demonstration
outside a local MP’s offices, and hosted CND chair Kate Hudson at
public meetings in the Music Hall and on campus. For Hiroshima Day in August,
we sent 200 peace lanterns down the River Dee, attracting a large crowd of
supporters.
Aberdeen CND group hold
regular stalls and do leafleting in Aberdeen. We meet monthly, on the second Monday
of each month at 7.00 p.m. in the meeting room on the top floor of the Belmont
Picture House, Belmont Street, Aberdeen.
(Full access available).
All are welcome to attend
these meetings. Come along to
discuss the issues and help plan the next campaigns.
