Protesters on a CND march against Trident nuclear missiles in London
ANTI-WAR campaigners will gather in London today to discuss a “new agenda for peace and justice.”
The conference, organised by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), will hear from a wide range of experts and activists on the dangers facing the world, including MPs Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Jeremy Corbyn, Stop the War Coalition convener Lindsey German and Andrew Feinstein of Shadow World Investigations.
It will focus on the escalating threat of nuclear war amid the wars involving Russia and Israel, both of which are nuclear-armed states, as well as the impact of the climate crisis on inciting conflict.
