Yorkshire Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND)

Who we are

Yorkshire CND campaigns non-violently to rid the world of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction and to create genuine security for future generations. We oppose all nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction: their development, manufacture, testing, deployment and use or threatened use by any country.

We aim to:

• Change Government policies to bring about the elimination of British nuclear weapons as a major contribution to global abolition.
• Stimulate wide public debate on the need for alternatives both to the nuclear cycle and to military attempts to resolve conflict.
• Empower people to engage actively in the political process and to work for a nuclear-free and peaceful future.
• Co-operate with other groups in the UK and internationally to ensure the development of greater mutual security.
• As a British campaign, we concentrate first and foremost on British nuclear weapons but we also work with anti-nuclear groups in other countries via ICAN to promote the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
