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 attended
the Glasgow and Edinburgh Anti-Trident Demonstrations, we went to Faslane to
blockade the base and we staged a demonstration outside a local MP’s
offices. For Hiroshima Day in August 2007, we sent 200 peace lanterns down
the River Dee, attracting a large crowd of supporters.
This year we participated
in the protests at Aldermaston, Glasgow and Faslane. We also hosted CND Chair Kate Hudson
at a public meeting in Aberdeen.
Aberdeen CND group hold
regular stalls and do leafleting in Aberdeen. We meet monthly, on the second Monday
of each month at 6.30 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.
