Can you spare some money to support the Greater Manchester & District Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament
In the past twelve months, we have organised, supported and taken part in many local and national protests and events. This includes the Alternative Defence Review conference; La No to Nuclear book launch with Linda Pentz Gunther; coaches to demonstrations at Lakenheath and Barrow; regular marches against the war in Gaza; vigils commemorating both Hiroshima and Nagasaki; and community events such as the Peace & Crafts Fair.
Our campaign has never been more important, with the Doomsday Clock the closest we’ve ever been. The Doomsday Clock is set once a year by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists and warns the public about how close we are to destroying our world with dangerous technologies of our own making, factoring in climate change and growing nuclear tensions. From the return of US nukes to UK soil at Lakenheath to nuclear capable fighter jets at Marham, we are living in dangerous times. On top of that is remilitarisation across Britain and Europe, the soaring costs of Trident replacement, and disruptive and violence wars across the globe, from Tehran to Kiev. The money used to threaten humanity with nuclear extinction could be used instead to develop a sustainable future, invest in public infrastructure, and develop a culture of peace.
It is essential that we continue our campaign to put pressure on the British government for a more peaceful agenda and a world without nuclear weapons. We want to reach relevant groups and individuals, however, the costs of running events, an office and staff salaries have all increased.
To improve our basic income, we would like to introduce local membership subscription rates but more is needed, particularly since we will not get any festival income in 2026 from Glastonbury. If you can make a donation to help our finances, either as a one-off or as a standing order, this would make a big difference. Our target amount is £10000 and suggested donation amounts are: £5, £10, £20, £50 or £100. However, any amounts, small or large are gratefully received.If you would prefer to pay through another way, you can make payments directly to our bank account or via the post (please get in touch for these details – gmdcnd@gn.apc.org
