A general election has been called for July 4th and everyone wants our vote.
How we cast our ballot can make a difference to the way our country is run, to the role that Britain plays in the world, and whether we stand for peace or war. For years now successive governments have backed nuclear weapons, escalated wars, broken international law and poured billions of pounds down the military drain. Now more and more of us are saying No!
We want to make sure that every candidate knows that where they stand on the issues of peace and nuclear weapons makes a difference at the ballot box. What do they think about Trident replacement; about a ceasefire in Gaza; about military spending; about nuclear power? Let’s ask them.
- Write to your candidates to find out their views on peace and disarmament. And let us know how they respond.

Greater Manchester & District CND will be putting out more information soon – from the cost-of-living crisis to Palestine to the climate emergency – about the issues more important to our region than boosting, preserving and retooling Britain’s nuclear arsenal, as well as on regional candidates and where they stand on the issues important to us, so keep an eye out for that!
