CND welcomes the attendance and contributions from trades union members, at this one-day conference. In particular there will be a session for trade unionists facilitated by John Holmes, Acting-President of the CWU, to discuss how this campaign can be advanced within the trade union movement and the TUC.

At the conference, experts and activists will place the possible replacement of Trident in the wider context of both recent global political and military developments, and changing policies towards nuclear weapons within nuclear weapons states. They will also consider the progress in research and development towards new nuclear weapons, which increase the threat of their use once again – 60 years after the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Individual strategy sessions will bring together campaigners from Parliament, trade unions, faith communities, youth and student movements, legal and diplomatic fields, and activists targeting bases and those engaging in local community activity, to discuss and plan the way forward for the campaign in their own areas.

Participants include: Tony Benn, Jeremy Corbyn MP, Dr Valerie Flessati, John Holmes Acting-President CWU, Professor Robert Hinde, Dr Kate Hudson, Dr Dominick Jenkins, Dr Rebecca Johnson, Bruce Kent, Dr Caroline Lucas MEP, Dr Sian Jones, Phil Shiner.

You are also invited to a reception following the conference, which will launch Kate Hudson’s new book on the history of CND, entitled CND Now More than Ever: The Story of a Peace Movement. The reception will be held in the CND offices on Holloway Rd.
