As 2026 opens, the drumbeat of war is growing louder in Britain, in Europe, and across the world. London CND’s annual conference ‘Nukes Nato and the Threat of War’ offers a mix of strategy and activism. This year, we ask why are politicians preparing for war? What are the alternatives? And how can we resist?
The conference takes place online (Zoom) at noon, Sunday 25 January and will run to 14:30. We warmly invite you to join us; registration is free and available through the link below.
